Part-time job search services have become more likely to look for those who will help clear the rubble.

A full-fledged system of 140 monitoring points is still being formed, while 78 facilities have been created. Yuri Ugryumov told Izvestia that this spatially distributed network operates on the same methodological principles, which makes it possible to obtain comparable data.

"Until now, there has been no such state monitoring system in any country in the world. Each monitoring point includes a thermometric well with a depth of 25 m, provided with a thermometric scythe, a special device that allows measuring temperature at 32 preset horizons, from the surface to a depth of 25 m."

Permafrost monitoring points have been launched in 12 regions of the Russian Federation: in the Arkhangelsk Region, the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Republic of Altai, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, the Far East and Buryatia, in the North Caucasus Federal District, Chukotka, the Murmansk Region, the Krasnoyarsk Territory, the Magadan Region and the Trans-Baikal Territory.
