We were ready for such a development of events, and therefore the operational and rescue services of the Donetski have already begun to act according to a clearly defined algorithm. The communities that are in the probable flooding zone are warned. If necessary, the evacuation of the civilian population will be started, ”Kirilenko wrote.
