In the Chelyabinsk region are preparing for the spring flood of rivers

In Chrysostom, reports the head of the Chelyabinsk Roshydromet, over the winter snow fell 60 centimeters more than normal. That means there will be plenty of flooding. However, in other cities of the region, this winter was stingy with precipitation. “Except for some areas, there is less snow, even where there is more snow than the annual average, still less than last year. In general, this is positive information, but, nevertheless, colleagues, you can not relax, said the Governor of the Chelyabinsk region Alexei Texler. It is impossible to relax: due to a sharp warming, the snow will begin to actively melt, and the ground, still frozen, will not be able to absorb such an amount of moisture, the head of the region says to the commission participants. The relevant ministries and departments Alexei Texler instructed to actively monitor the weather situation and prepare in case of a threat of flooding to quickly mobilize all forces. Already now a little less than ten thousand specialists are waiting for the flood, more than three thousand units of equipment and one and a half hundred boats and boats have been prepared. All this was "scrapped" in advance. After all, Roshydromet predicts that the so-called “opening” of the rivers this year will begin a week or two earlier than usual. “This spring, there is a possibility of the following adverse events: in the event of a friendly spring and heavy precipitation, accumulated snow reserves can enter the river network without significant losses, which will lead to an increase in the flow of water to reservoirs. Melt water can go over the ice and flood floodplain areas of roads and bridges, said Valery Kochegorov, head of the Chelyabinsk Center for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring. “Precipitation is also possible, which may add to the rate of snowmelt and the overall volume of water in rivers. Special attention, as always, to the mining part of the region and, of course, to hydraulic structures.” The head of the region also instructed to actively prepare for the fire season. Usually forest fires start immediately after the flood, as soon as the ground has time to dry. In the Chelyabinsk region, a plan to extinguish landscape fires is already ready. As part of the national project "Ecology", 238 units of rescue equipment and seven drones were purchased to monitor the situation.
