Kratko nakon tog incidenta, mađarske vlasti proglasile su vanredno stanje u tri okruga i evakuirale na stotine ljudi iz ugroženog regiona, dok je brza bujica, koja je mjestimično dosezala i do 2 metra, preplavljivala domove, nosila sobom automobile i oštećivala mostove.
Shortly after the incident, Hungarian authorities declared a state of emergency in three counties and evacuated hundreds of people from the affected region as the fast-moving torrent, reaching 2m in places, flooded homes, swept away cars and damaged bridges.
