Vladimir Putin held a meeting on liquidation of the consequences of the flood in the Orenburg, Kurgan and Tyumen regions | 04/24/2024 | Orenburg News

The meeting was attended by heads of relevant ministries, heads of regions and municipalities affected by the flood.

– It will be necessary to evaluate in detail and adjust, if necessary, the amount of compensation payments to citizens affected by the emergency situation. I mean one-time financial assistance, payments in connection with partial or complete loss of property, and others. The approaches here must be uniform and fair – regardless of the budgetary provision of the regions,” Vladimir Putin emphasized.

Governor Denis Pasler reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the liquidation of the consequences of the flood in the region.

– In total, about 18 thousand residential buildings in the region were freed from water – this is 60% of the total number of flooded households. Commissions are actively working in the territories to assess the suitability of housing for further residence and to assess damage to property. Specialists have already examined 11,226 households – this is more than 70% of the vacant houses, said Denis Pasler.

In total, power supply has been restored to more than 74% of consumers in the region – these are apartment buildings, social facilities, housing and communal services, and business. Work is underway to connect the private sector to the power grid. About 6 thousand distribution cabinets were purchased, which employees of electrical grid organizations install on the facades of houses and connect to the main lines. Gas supply has been restored to more than 57% of subscribers.

In Orenburg, water supply facilities are operating as normal.

The city of Orsk is under special control, where the most pressing issue is the city’s water supply. Today there are already 40 wells in operation with a large balance. Now the volume of water supplied to the city has been significantly increased. But it is still not enough to provide all areas of Orsk with water. Work is carried out around the clock in difficult to reach areas.
