The 1997 Central European flood or the 1997 Oder Flood of the Oder and Morava river basins in July 1997 affected Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany, taking the lives of 114 people and causing material damages estimated at $4.5 billion (3.8 billion euros in the Czech Republic and Poland and 330 million euros in Germany). The flooding began in the Czech Republic, then spread to Poland and Germany. In Poland, where it was one of the most disastrous floods in the country's history,[1][2] it was named the Millennium Flood (Powódź tysiąclecia).[2] The term was also used in Germany (Jahrtausendflut).[3] The event has also been referred to as the Great Flood of 1997.[2][4]
