After the June storms, a dedicated State aid website was set up

The Slovenian government has established a dedicated website with information on state assistance available to those affected by severe storms and floods that occurred at the beginning of June, causing extensive damage across housing, infrastructure, agricultural land, and the economy. The site provides details on how to report damages, procedures for assessing and listing damages in agriculture and industry, and contact information for victims. The storms, which included heavy rain, wind, hail, flooding, and landslides, affected 57 municipalities nationwide. Due to the estimated damage exceeding 0.3 percent of the national budget, the State Protection and Rescue Administration initiated the damage assessment process, which will conclude by July 24, followed by inspections by regional committees by July 31. Guidelines have been issued for repairing damaged properties without requiring building permits, and farmers are encouraged to report agricultural damage through local advisors or regional offices. Special instructions have been provided for processing claims related to extraordinary weather events, including the use of satellite imagery to assess damage.

Those affected by the floods can find guidance on a new government website

Following severe flooding at the beginning of June 2026, which caused extensive damage to housing units, infrastructure, agricultural land, and the economy, the government has established a centralized online portal where citizens can find procedures, forms, and contacts related to compensation claims. The preliminary damage assessment exceeds 0.3 per cent of the planned state budget revenues, triggering the formal process of documenting the damage. This includes evaluating property damage on land, buildings, infrastructure, waterways, and economic losses such as damaged machinery, inventory, and lost income. The damage evaluation will be completed by July 24, with regional committees conducting review inspections by July 31. If the assessed damage surpasses the threshold, the government will declare a natural disaster and prepare a recovery plan. The new website also provides guidance for those affected, including information on repairs without requiring building permits and contact details for local authorities in specific municipalities. Damage was reported across more than 50 municipalities nationwide.

Bias read (Center): The article presents factual information about the government's response to a natural disaster, including procedural steps, damage assessments, and the establishment of an online resource.
