At the end of the event, a short speech was delivered by the pjoject’s expert Jacek Gancarczyk – an employee of Czernichów Commune Office. He told the participants about the practical actions that were taken during the strong movements of land masses being a result of the heavy rainfall in Międzybrodzie Bialskie in 2010, when there became active a landslide causing geological subsidence and destruction of about 117 chalets within the housing estate ‘Laski”.
