Summary/Abstract: State emergency aid provided to the Pilzno County inhabitants who had suffered material losses as a result of the warfare in May 1915 was a short-term solution. Initially, the reconstruction of houses was subsidised with the aim of allowing the citizens to survive the upcoming winter. The funds constituted only 16% of the approximate value of the destroyed buildings. Small amounts of money were also handed out to help citizens start or resume business activity. Although the financial support was not sufficient, it enabled the payees to deal with the dramatic consequences of the war.
