Severe weather alert issued for Intya district

Alert: Buckle Up! Heavy Rain Coming to Inta District, Republic of Komi

Brace yourself, folks! The Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring Center of the Republic of Komi has predicted a hefty downpour in the Inta district from 6 PM on June 12 until 6 AM on June 13. That's about 15 mm (or more) of rain heading our way.

So, here's the lowdown on keeping safe during these wet and wild times:

Safety 101

  1. Stay On Point: Keep tabs on the latest weather reports. Stay updated on the intensity of rainfall and potential flooding risks from the powers that be.
  2. Pack a Safety Kit: Gather essentials like flashlights, batteries, first aid kits, and emergency grub (think non-perishables).
  3. Secure Your Pad: Ensure your home's drainage system is on point. If time allows, move your valuables to higher levels if possible.
  4. Stay Grounded (Literally): If you can avoid it, skip venturing out during downpours. But if you must, stay clear of billboards, unstable structures, and leaky buildings with questionable roofs. Sayonara to large, lone trees, power lines, and antennas too. And, for the love of Mother Nature, stay out of low-lying areas.
  5. Guard Your Wheels: If you're behind the wheel, tread carefully. Maintain a decent distance from other vehicles and keep your speed below the speed limit. In the event of a downpour, don't try blazing through flooded areas. Instead, gently nudge your vehicle to the rightmost lane (or shoulder) and park it until the rain subsides. Flip on your hazard lights and wait out the storm. If the water rises fast, ditch the vehicle and hoof it to higher ground or a nifty nearby building.
  6. Share the Weather Watchening Wisdom: Share the safety tips with your little ones.

Cover Your Bases (Literally)

  • Unplug and Secure: Before the storm, unplug electronics and shut windows tightly. Remove any loose items from balconies and loggias.

Drive Safe

  • Eyes on the Road, Hands on the Wheel: Pledge allegiance to safe driving. Keep focus on the road and maintain a decent distance from the car in front of you. If caught in the storm, resist the urge to speed or take shortcuts.

Feeling Under the Weather?

  • Medical Aide: If you feel unwell, seek medical assistance immediately. Follow the doctors' orders to the letter.

In Case of Emergency

Dial "01" for emergency services in Russia. Mobile users, tune in to "101" or "112."

Remember, this advice is based on general rainy-day conditions. For the most precise and up-to-date details on Inta District's weather, check local weather services regularly.[1]
