"Heavy rain last night increased the water level of rivers in the northern, western and southern parts of Bohemia, specifically the Usti nad Labem, Plzen, Karlovy Vary, Liberec and South Bohemian regions.
Central Bohemian Regional Office Director Zdenek Stetina called a working group meeting on Friday morning in order to prepare for a possible flood threat during the weekend.
Prague City Hall spokeswoman Tereza Kralova said that "preventive anti-flood measures" have been implemented after the water level of the Vltava river increased. The Prague City Hall reacted by closing floodgates at the Certovka channel and asking drivers to move their cars from the Vltava riverbank. Also, all events scheduled to take place at the river bank, including the regular Saturday farmers' market and the Khamoro Roma festival, were canceled or moved to another location. Ship traffic near Prague has been suspended and the capital city's ports closed."
