The Netherlands' largest natural disaster of the 20th century struck 65 years ago. A storm more than 600 miles wide raged through the North Sea, and ran into the Dutch coast. The suffering was incalculable. 1,836 people died. Tens of thousands of animals drowned, and there was great damage to buildings, agricultural land, and infrastructure. After the flood, Rijkswaterstaat built the #DeltaWorks to prevent similar disasters. Now and in the future. | Embassy of the Netherlands in the United State
