"After we have people who lost their lives, now is the time to try to analyze in depth what are the reasons for what happened and to prepare these actions that will allow the next time we have such a natural disaster, so we are better prepared," said Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov.

The cabinet also allocated over 63 million leva for overcoming damages caused in disaster situations.
