Republic of Adygea Hit by Heavy Precipitation on December 31. Some Settlements Without Power and Heating.
As a result, the head of the republic decided to introduce a state of emergency in Maykop, Maykopsky, Giaginsky, Krasnogvardeysky, Shovgenovsky, and Koshekhablsky districts.
“The decision was made to mobilize all forces and resources to eliminate the consequences of the severe weather in the shortest possible time,” the head explained.
One of the serious problems was not only the loss of power, heating, and transport collapse, but also the accumulation of snow on canopies. For instance, a man died in Maykop in the courtyard of a private house after a canopy collapsed.
“I urge residents of settlements to remain cautious and promptly clear their property and territory of snow,” the head of Adygea emphasized.
All special services and departments have been switched to a 24/7 operation mode. Work is underway to restore electricity and heating and to clear roads.
