Dial the corresponding emergency number when power loss occurs due to adverse weather conditions.
In the heart of Central Yakutia, a series of wind-related incidents have been causing concern. As the winds pick up speed, residents are being reminded to take precautions to ensure their safety and the protection of their property.
Yakutskenergo, the local energy company, is urging everyone to follow safety rules and to have emergency contact information at hand. The strengthening winds can cause damage to power lines, leading to wire entanglements and short circuits. To protect appliances from potential damage due to voltage fluctuations, it is recommended to disconnect all electrical appliances from the power source during adverse weather conditions.
The safety rules likely include precautions for adverse weather conditions, such as securing loose items on balconies, ensuring parts of roofs and facades are well-anchored, and being aware of the risks of trees falling. Road signs and billboards can also be damaged by the force of the wind, so extra care should be taken when driving.
Alexander Nikolaevich Efrosinin, the head of Yakutskenergo, who was appointed to his position in August 2020, is leading the efforts to keep the community safe. He and his team are working hard to minimize disruptions in power equipment caused by the gusty winds.
In these challenging weather conditions, it's important for everyone to stay vigilant and to follow the safety rules to ensure a safe and secure environment for all. For more information on emergency contacts and safety rules, residents are encouraged to contact Yakutskenergo's contact centre.
