The army will be asked to provide an amphibian vehicle to get access to households in flooded areas.
"It has been decided to declare a state of emergency," Vaidas Bendaravičius, director of administration at Pagėgiai Municipality, told BNS.
According to him, ice jams are not abating and freezing water is impeding access to households in flooded areas. All in all, 21 homesteads with 72 people are now cut off.
A state of emergency was earlier declared in the neighboring Šilutė Municipality.
An unexpected flood started in the final days of last year due to warmer weather and ice jams.
