Spring flood in Tatarstan – the forecast is optimistic. But…
The analysis of the prevailing conditions suggests that the maximum water levels in spring flood conditions with the normal development of spring processes are expected to be within the long-term average values. The nature of the development of the spring flood and the intensity of the formation of the watercourse will directly depend on weather conditions. This was stated today by the head of the "Department for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring of the Republic of Tatarstan" Sergey Zakharov during a meeting of the Commission on Emergency Prevention and Response and Fire Safety of the Republic of Tatarstan.
The meeting was chaired by the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan and First Deputy Rustam Nigmatullin. The work was also attended by the head of the Main Department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the Republic of Tatarstan, Lieutenant General of the Internal Service Rafis Khabibullin, heads of responsible ministries and departments, heads of executive committees of municipal districts of the republic. In video conferencing mode.
In an unfavorable scenario of the development of the spring flood, the territories of 220 settlements in 39 municipalities with the number of 13,636 people living, 10 socially significant objects, 47 sections of highways, 22 automobile bridges, 3 economic objects can get into the flooding zone.
If the above forecasts come true, then we suggest that municipal districts switch to high alert mode, and in case of flooding, switch to emergency mode immediately.
