A high-alert regime was introduced in the Irkutsk region

A high-alert regime has begun to operate in the Irkutsk region. Abnormal flooding is expected in the region.

The introduction of the regime is associated with the deterioration of weather conditions. According to forecasts, flood emergencies can lead to disruption of the functioning of life support systems for the population and economic facilities. IA IrkutskMedia writes about this with reference to the decree of the head of the region Igor Kobzev.

Senior staff of executive authorities are on duty in the territories. The readiness of forces and means to eliminate emergency situations has been ensured.
