Attention! The danger of a descent of snow from the slopes and roofs!

24 January 2021, Sunday

Due to the large amount of precipitation, there is a possibility of snow masses descending from the steep slopes of river valleys, ravines, quarries, railway embankments, as well as accidents associated with the descent of snow masses from roofs and structures, the collapse of buildings and wide-span structures as a result of snow load.

The heads of municipalities are recommended to:

- monitor the places of possible snowfall and
timely conduct their artificial collapse in compliance with safety measures, as well as cleaning the roofs of residential buildings and administrative buildings from snow and ice;
- organize awareness-raising activities among the population about the danger of snow falling from the steep slopes of river valleys, ravines, quarries, railway embankments, and the need to strengthen control over children and prevent games in such places;
- check the readiness of ski slopes and recreation centers near them as part of the response to the risks of accidents and emergencies;
- conduct a sample survey of buildings and structures, paying special attention to buildings with wide and flat surfaces and places with a large crowd of people.
