On the Crimea are showers and storm wind

In the Crimea on November 13 and 14, rains and increased wind are expected. This was reported in the press service of the Main Department of EMERCOM in the Republic of Crimea.

On November 14, heavy rains are expected in some places. The southwest wind will increase to 15-20 meters per second, and on November 13 its gusts can reach 25-28 meters per second.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations noted that in such conditions, the likelihood of emergency situations is high: accidents at energy and housing facilities, violations of transport communication, difficulty in traffic on roads, especially on mountain passes, are possible. Flooding of territories is not excluded.

There is a threat to life and health of people due to the possible fall of billboards, loosely fixed structures and trees, as well as breakages of power lines. Accidents are likely in the waters of the Black and Azov Seas and the Kerch Strait. The presence of people in the coastal zone, on piers and shore fortifications is dangerous for life.

The Ministry of Emergency Situations recommends to exclude access to mountain and forest areas and not to go to the embankments. Residents should check the state of drainage systems, drainage channels and storm drains, clean them of garbage. Rescuers advise to limit stay near riverbeds, including dried up, and those who live near water bodies, to take care of the safety of property.

Drivers are asked to be extremely careful, do not exceed speed and strictly observe traffic rules. Pedestrians are asked to take special care when crossing the road. If the rain caught on the street, you should not go down to the underground passages and other buried rooms - it is better to hide in buildings above the possible level of flooding.

In the car you do not need to try to overcome flooded areas: you should adjust to the far right row, stop, turn on emergency lights and wait out the rain. On the farmsteads, it is recommended to fix weakly fortified structures, close windows and balconies.

On the street, you should stay away from billboards, signs, road signs and power lines, not be near large trees and do not park next to them transport. Tourists and lovers of rest with tents during a storm warning are advised to abandon the chosen type of rest and transfer it to a more favorable period.
