This is reported by the regional government.

“At a meeting of the CoES, it was deemed necessary to introduce a regional emergency regime within the borders of 59 rural municipal districts and two urban districts (Barnaul and Slavgorod) - territories subjected to the manifestation of especially dangerous agrometeorological phenomena,” the statement said.

As the governor of Altai Territory Viktor Tomenko noted, an official assessment of damage should already be started now in order to compensate part of the losses to the affected households.

Earlier, in a number of cities of the Kuban, water supply was introduced on schedule due to drought.
