Residents of the affected areas are advised to try to find shelter with friends or relatives if possible. Authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia also plan to organize temporary shelters. On the Belgian side, the evacuation of the towns of Küchelscheid and Leykaul has already begun.

According to official data, Monschau has about 12,000 inhabitants, while the city is visited daily by more than five thousand tourists — up to two million per year.

They come to see the historic center with its preserved half-timbered houses, which remained undamaged during World War II.

Monschau has been recognized as the most beautiful small town in Germany.
