Several communities in Primorye face transportation disruption due to excessive rainfall.

Updates from Primorsky Krai: Six Settlements Disconnected due to Heavy Rain

It's been a tumultuous week in Primorsky Krai, with floodwaters washing away transportation routes in six remote settlements. According to the regional emergency services department, these areas - located in Anuchinsky, Partizansky, and Chuguyevsky municipal districts - are now stranded due to the torrential downpours.

The storm has been relentless, dumping the region's monthly average rainfall in just a single day, and causing river levels to surge by an alarming 2.5 meters. With low-lying areas drowning, connecting to these far-off settlements is impossible for now.

While details on the specific impacts in these districts remain scarce, it's essential to recall a few recent developments in the region. For instance, a building in Vladivostok was flooded this past April 25 after a hot water pipe burst, and even a Minor Flood Warning was issued for parts of Primorsky Krai earlier this week, though the affected areas have not been specified.

Additionally, studies have pointed out that beach wrack accumulation in Primorsky Krai's coastal areas may heighten flooding risks during heavy rainfall. However, it seems that reports of flooding or transportation disruptions specifically in Anuchinsky, Partizansky, and Chuguyevsky districts are not widespread.

It's clear that infrastructure strains are not unique to Primorsky Krai, as evidenced by the ongoing water-supply crisis in Karelia, where locals have petitioned the Investigative Committee to restore services.

Stay informed and stay safe! Keep a watchful eye on real-time alerts from local authorities for updated information on the situation in your district.

In Primorsky Krai, the average rainfall for an entire month was dumped in just one day due to relentless storms, causing six settlements in Anuchinsky, Partizansky, and Chuguyevsky municipal districts to become disconnected because of flooding and waterlogged roads.
General news reports indicate that these isolated settlements are currently experiencing transportation disruptions due to heavy rainfall, leading to a warning for citizens in the region.
Aside from the recent issue, there have been other weather-related difficulties in Primorsky Krai, such as a building flood in Vladivostok from a hot water pipe burst and a recent Minor Flood Warning for unspecified areas.
Residents in Primorsky Krai may also face increased flooding risks due to beach wrack accumulation, according to studies on coastal areas.
While the specific impacts on the six cut-off settlements are still uncertain, it's important to note that other regions, such as Karelia, are facing similar infrastructural challenges resulting in ongoing water-supply crises.
