On behalf of the Head of State, First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan Roman Sklyar is in the North Kazakhstan region. The First Deputy Prime Minister held a meeting on the flood situation and checked the condition of strategically important facilities and dams. He also held a meeting with the heads of construction and road companies and called on them for help in fighting the flood. Roman Sklyar also met with residents of the villages where the high water came and noted that the state will provide all the necessary assistance.

According to the instructions of the First Deputy Prime Minister, work is underway to strengthen and expand dams, increase the number of special equipment and create mobile groups.

“The flood situation is becoming more complicated. This morning the overflow at the Sergeyev reservoir was 415 cm. This is much higher than the flood levels of 2017. Therefore, day and night, measures are being taken to protect settlements and the regional center. The main thing is to evacuate the population to a safe place and pay attention to the safety of property, inform in advance about the arrival of big water,” the Akim of North Kazakhstan region Gauez Nurmukhambetov on social networks wrote.
