In Great Yalta, the group is increasing due to flooding

In Greater Yalta increased the grouping of forces to 300 people and more than 50 units of equipment to eliminate the consequences of floods. This was reported in the Main Department of EMERCOM in the Crimea.

In Great Yalta, the consequences of floods continue to be eliminated. The most difficult situation is in Alupka, where the Khara-Bair river overflowed its banks. Rescuers urgently erected a temporary dam. This allowed to divert a powerful stream of water from the western gates of the Vorontsov Palace.

Now employees of the Ministry of Emergencies of Russia and Crimea-Spas, together with the administration, continue to strengthen the coastlines with sandbags, clear the Khara-Bair channel from stones and large debris, and clean storm sewers to accelerate drainage.

In flooded areas, first regulate the flow of water with the help of bags and barriers. Active pumping will begin after the level decrease.
