Flood in Russia
A state of emergency was declared due to rapid snow melting causing spring floods in Russia's southern Orenburg region. As of 04 April, 543 homes and 2,274 private properties across 15 towns, including Krasnokholm and Sorochinsk, are known to have been affected by flooding. A total of 1,473 individuals, including 381 children, were evacuated.
The Governor stressed the need for this measure to prevent adverse outcomes and mitigate potential damage to residents and infrastructure. Local officials were put on standby, preparing reserves of soil and other materials to reinforce roads and dams.
Urgent plans were put in place to make all resources available for emergency rescue operations and pre-emptive evacuation from high-risk areas. Efforts were made to ensure adequate supplies of fuel, food, and essential items, safeguard residents' personal property, and maintain public order throughout the region. Temporary shelters were created providing essential provisions such as food, water, medical assistance and medications.
