The Washed Out Road Was Rebuilt on the Same Day

Skiing is a real elixir of health that strengthens the body, hardens the spirit and fills with energy. Those who have ever climbed a ski slope know that the frosty air and rhythmic gliding give an amazing feeling of freedom and vivacity.  

This winter, the republic was hit by the elements. Cyclones gave way to anticyclones, snowfalls to blizzards, and by early February, snowdrifts in populated areas of Tatarstan reached 203% of the average monthly norm. Roofs of buildings, sidewalks and pedestrian paths were under the weight of snow.  

Winter is coming to the end, which means that it's time to warm each other not only with tea, but also with kind words. It has become an important ritual that helps us stay united. During the whole Shrovetide week, colleagues treat each other to delicious pancakes, dried fruits, and bagels with fragrant tea in the Emergency Call Centers in Naberezhnye Chelny and Kazan.

Rescuers of ZSRU No. 6 (Naberezhnye Chelny), which are part of the Search and Rescue Service of the Republic of Tatarstan, conducted preventive raids aimed at raising awareness and safety culture of the population on the ice, especially among fishermen. As part of this campaign, four educational events were organized on the ice of the Kama River, which reached an audience of 25 people. All participants were provided with information materials containing recommendations on safe behavior on ice in winter.
