Transbaikalia flooded

Since July 4, pouring rains are in the Trans -Baikal Territory, which led to the rise of water in the rivers and flooding of entire regions of the region. Thousands of people are evacuated, bridges and roads are blurred, transport communication is interrupted. On July 9, the authorities introduced an emergency regime in the region. Meteorologists predict the weather deterioration on July 11 and 12 - a cyclone formed in Mongolia is approaching the region, it will bring new rains. To help the victims, funds and humanitarian aid began.

The most difficult situation has now developed in the Shilkinsky district of Transbaikalia. 560 houses are flooded here. Two thousand people are evacuated . All bridges in the area are destroyed.

Archpriest Alexander, Rector of the Peter and Paul Church of the city of Shilka, is engaged in the collection of humanitarian aid for citizens.

“I have come to Chita now to take help collected by people, these are things, products, medicines,” he told Siberia. Raali to the correspondent. - I did not turn to the authorities for help. Now, by five o’clock, all the citizens collected by the townspeople will be in one place, we will plunge there and go back to Shilka. The trouble is that now the city is cut into several parts, and all the bridges in the city are destroyed, only the railway bridge remains. We found a passage, but there you can drive only on heavy trucks, we have camps on such people. For ordinary cars, this passage is not available. People are without electricity and water. My people are now engaged in the supply of water.

According to the priest, 13.8 thousand people live in Shilka and can be considered victims.

- People prefer to move to relatives or not leave their home at all, because looting begins. Someone in the car spent the night, someone on the roof-but all near the houses. Now the water receded somewhere by a meter, but it still stands in houses. In people, furniture floats. My acquaintances began to pump out, they say that the impression is that we swing the river - water does not decrease. In the underground, everyone has water. People are holding, the Transbaikal people are strong, they can shook them little, but the damage is caused a large one. Another concern is the northern villages, there is practically no connection with them, it was through fiber. If we get an all -terrain vehicle, then we will organize a rescue operation in the north, deliver the humanitarian cargo and take out priests and novices from there.

The head of the Social Service of the Nerch Diocese, Svetlana Tylkevich is now in Shilka. She said that the water recedes slowly, and the inhabitants are already starting to panic.

- People cannot go to the houses, because the water leaves slowly. And they will go - there is nowhere to sleep anyway: everything is wet inside. We expect a second wave - we promised a small rise in water. People help each other and grumble already on the local authorities, which does not inform them well. That's just hanging announcements about a new flood, ”said Svetlana Tylkevich. - If the victim can inform about himself - come and write a statement, then good, but there are those who themselves cannot get to the administration. Nobody came to them from power. There was a rumor that the commission was working on Okovskaya Street - people went there, but they did not find officials. Where there was no electricity, they turned on in a day, but somewhere it was now. Maybe they turn off the fanno? .. In the most affected microdistrict, Chapai began to carry water. People begin to panic - they do not feel support from those in power, are afraid of each other and buy everything in a row in stores.

Anxious situation in other areas of the region. On the SOS-Zabaikalie website , where funds and humanitarian aid were announced, it is reported that the automobile message was interrupted with the villages: Nizhny Stan, Vershino-Darasunsky, Verkh-Usuli, Usulogli, Kyker, Akima, Tungokhenic and others. From several regions of the region, the evacuation of people continues. "In Zarechny, many people are sitting in flooded houses, you need help, bread, drinking water !!" - writes Julia Sapozhnikova on the social network "VKontakte" on the morning of July 10.

In the village of Middle Kia, the element demolished a wooden bridge 40 meters long, the bridges were also destroyed in the villages of Kyeken and Bogomyagkovo.

At the same time, the governor of the region Natalya Zhdanova said that the situation was under control, and promised material assistance to all the territories victims from the government. According to her, the most difficult situation has developed in the village of Tungokotin. “Water continues to arrive in Tungokochena, and experts have fears that the stream can demolish the dam. In this regard, questions arise for the contractor who built it in 2013,” she said .

The ex-head of the Mogochinsky district , Dmitry Plyukhin, told the Siberia. Raali correspondent that he evaluates the preparation of the authorities for flooding as a failure.

- I believe that the authorities completely failed preparations for the flood, and 100 percent failed to prevent work to prevent and notify people. And from the part of the Ministry of Emergencies, and from the side of the governor. On the eve of July 8, the Ministry of Emergencies said that there would be no flood in Chita (for some reason they are called flood). People calmly went to bed, and this morning they saw their property in the water. It’s good that no one died. In the Chita line, in the village of Kashtak, I saw with my own eyes how private houses suffered. It was necessary to monitor the water level around the clock, put the posts along the river and say to people in time: "Save your property." In the center of the city, in the first microdistrict, garage cooperatives drowned, these are property, there are expensive cars. They are now flooded on the roof! Why didn't people warn? I believe that in such a situation, it is better, as they say, to be pre -budget than to not be missed, and the first SMS from the Ministry of Emergencies with a warning about the rise in water came today at 12 o’clock, when the water began to subside gradually. As a result, people are caused by huge damage.

Earlier, on June 8, the regional Ministry of Emergencies reported that the flood on the Chitinka River is not dangerous for residential buildings, it is possible only to flood the Lazo Street under the railway bridge.

On June 9, 150 streets were already flooded in Chita, 70 people were evacuated. Four transformer substations (two wholesale bases and two subscriber TPs) were turned off in the city, about a thousand people are without power supply. Due to the rise in the water level in the Chita River, the dam began to spill here. Thus, it is planned to prevent the flooding of TPP-2. The personnel of the station is evacuated , which is not involved in the operational management of the station.

“The situation is constantly monitored by the water level, the evacuation of personnel not involved in the operational management of the station was carried out,” the press service said . “Currently, the Chita TPP-2 continues to work in regular mode.”

The company’s press service clarifies that in case the threat of flooding of the Chita CHP-2, the actions of personnel to switch the load on other sources of energy supply were worked out.

Social networks are filled with photographs with disaster types and comments of residents.

“Everyone sees perfectly what is happening in our region: people suffer, lose housing and all the means of normal existence. And most importantly, it is outraged, this is the inaction of the authorities -“ Do not panic, there are no sacrifices ... ” - their words. We are preparing humanitarian assistance to each other. The authorities do not give a damn about us. Can we write a collective appeal to the“ president ”? "VKontakte".

Ru" reports. “In connection with the flooding of water intake stations in Chita, everyone urgently gained water, there may be an indefinite term,” one of the messages quotes the publication. In turn, the press service of the Ministry of Territorial Development of the Trans-Baikal Territory reported that the restrictions on the water supply to the Chita population were not expected, the situation with water supply is under control. The press service of Vodokanal clarified that the water supply is limited to 15 streets of Chita due to the disconnection of the pumping stations.

The head of the Trans -Baikal Directorate for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring Olga Lyashko said that on July 9 and 10 is a moment of lull. Then the situation may aggravate - a cyclone from Mongolia, which will bring new rains, will begin to operate on the territory of the region.

"The forecast is unfavorable. On July 10, 10, a small respite is expected, a low level of precipitation, while July 11.12 is a storm. In the next three days, the rise of water in the rivers will continue. So, in Shilka the water will rise by 133 centimeters, in the Chita River, the rise of water will come to 300 centimeters and above, in the Karenga River - about 137 centimeters," - reported Lyashko.

The prosecutor's office of the Trans -Baikal Territory is already a check of how the floods are eliminated.
