Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a series of instructions to government bodies following a meeting on flood relief efforts in the Republic of Dagestan. The directives, published on the official Kremlin website, task federal and regional authorities with providing comprehensive assistance to affected residents and restoring damaged infrastructure.
The orders specifically instruct the government of the Republic of Dagestan, together with the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations (EMERCOM), to continue efforts to eliminate the consequences of the flooding. Key priorities include the restoration of damaged roads, bridges, and power supply systems, as well as ensuring the uninterrupted operation of social infrastructure facilities like hospitals and schools.
Further instructions mandate the regional government, with support from the Russian Ministry of Finance, to promptly assess the damage and submit proposals for financing the restoration work. The government is also tasked with providing all necessary humanitarian aid, including financial payments, to citizens who lost property or sustained damage to their homes.
A final set of instructions requires regular reporting on the progress of the relief and restoration efforts directly to the President. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges posed by severe weather events in the region.
