Usti-Ishim experiencing unexpected crisis: understanding the cause
In the Omsk Region, the Ministry of Emergency Situations has clarified the circumstances surrounding the state of emergency declared in the Ust-Ishimsky District. Contrary to earlier media reports, the state of emergency was not instigated due to recent flooding on the Ust-Ishim - Fokino road, but was established by the Ust-Ishimsky Municipal District Administration in May 2024. At present, the road remains operational.
Last year, a state of emergency of federal significance was imposed in the Omsk Region due to flooding in the northern part of the region. The Ust-Ishimsky District sustained the most severe impacts, with approximately 650 homes and over a thousand plots being submerged during the peak of the flood. The overall damage from the flood is estimated to be around three billion rubles.
This year, the water level in the Irtysh River in the Omsk Region is on the rise, yet it has yet to reach life-threatening proportions.
There are concerns that the Tyumen - Omsk Highway may once again be susceptible to flooding due to the rising waters of the Irtysh River.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's advisable to consult local news sources or official government announcements related to the region. Additionally, residents and travelers can benefit from staying informed about their local news outlets, official government websites, social media platforms, forums, and road condition websites for specific updates on emergencies or road conditions in the region.
What about the current situation in the general-news regarding politics? Is there any update on the measures being taken to prevent another flood disaster like last year in the Ust-Ishimsky District of the Omsk Region? Government announcements and local news sources could provide the answers to these questions.
