"In the course of R&D, for the first time, common concepts and methodology for creating safe cities were formed, which, in particular, will be used to create the first special rating in Russia that reflects the situation in the region with respect to various risks," the press service quotes RIA Novosti.

It is noted that a new approach to forecasting in the field of public safety and law and order has also been developed.

The results of the first stage of R&D were accepted by the EMERCOM commission of Russia.

Earlier, the vice-president of the National Union of Motorists Jan Heitseer told RT what precautions motorists should take in connection with the snowfall.
