Central European nations are bracing for severe flooding, which is expected to impact the Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, Germany, Slovakia, and Hungary this weekend.
Residents have been urged to prepare for probable evacuations.
Some public activities scheduled for the weekend around the country have been cancelled at the request of authorities, including football matches in the top two leagues.
Meteorologists say a low pressure system travelling from northern Italy was predicted to dump high levels of rainfalls in most parts of the Czech Republic, including the capital and border regions with Austria and Germany in the south and Poland in the north.
Central Europeans are especially wary because some experts have compared the weekend forecast to devastating floods in 1997 in the region, referred to by some as the flood of the century.
Over 100 people were killed in the floods 27 years ago, including 50 in the eastern Czech Republic where large sections of land was inundated.
The biggest rainfalls were predicted in the eastern half of the country, particularly in the Jeseniky mountains. The second largest city of Brno, located in eastern Czech Republic, is among places that have not had flooding protection work completed, unlike Prague.
Czechs were asked not to go to parks and woods as high winds up to 100 kilometers (62 miles) per hour were forecast.
In Poland, Prime Minister Donald Tusk traveled Friday to the southwestern Polish city of Wrocław where floods are forecast. Authorities appealed to residents to stock up on food and to prepare for power outages by charging power banks.
