Ice on reservoirs is a high – risk area. Emergencies related to accidents in the reservoirs of the region most often occur due to non-compliance with safety rules by citizens when they are on the ice of the reservoir.
Do not rush to go to the first ice, in fact, the ice is weak and will not withstand the weight of not only an adult, but also a child. Young ice differs from the old one by its darker color and thin, even snow cover.
The strength of ice can be determined visually:
1. blue ice is durable;
2. white – the strength is 2 times less;
3. ice gray and matte white or with a yellowish tinge is not reliable.
The Department of emergency situations of the Uzunkol district draws the attention of citizens to the need to observe safety rules and precautions on reservoirs during the ice age.
We pay special attention to fishermen who love ice fishing, the danger of going out on the weak ice.
