This week, railroad accidents could occur in six Russian regions. On Wednesday, February 23, the All-Russian Research Institute for Civil Defense and Emergencies (VNII GOChS) warned about this.
Accidents can occur in the Far East and Siberia. Possible causes of the emergency are frosts down to minus 35 degrees and wear and tear of equipment.
“Due to the predicted low temperatures down to minus 30–35 degrees in the south of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Trans-Baikal Territory, the republics of Khakassia, Tyva, Buryatia and the Irkutsk Region, as well as a high percentage of depreciation of technological equipment, disruptions in the operation of housing and communal services are likely,” experts said. .
Settlements located in the above regions can be flooded with icy waters. There are also likely to be disruptions in the operation of housing and communal services.
In 15 other subjects, difficulties in the operation of transport and failures in the power supply system are also expected. The reason may be strong cyclones. They will come to Bashkiria, Karelia, the Republic of Altai, Khakassia, Kamchatka, Krasnoyarsk Territories, as well as to Sakhalin, Kemerovo, Saratov, Ulyanovsk, Samara, Leningrad, Pskov, Novgorod and Kaliningrad regions.
On the eve of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in the Ulyanovsk region warned of the likelihood of a severe flood situation in the region. This winter, the region has almost double the rainfall. For this reason, there is a risk of flooding of areas near rivers and reservoirs.
