In April, the evacuation of residents of 14 settlements began in the Ishimsky District of the Tyumen Region due to the threat of flooding. District leaders called on people to take documents, personal belongings and medicines with them.
At the same time, in Kurgan, the water level on the Tobol River rose to 865 cm. The authorities called on residents of the flooded areas to evacuate immediately. Moreover, the water level on some sections of the Tom River in Tomsk exceeded the dangerous mark.
Orsk also suffered serious damage. In April last year, a dam protecting the city from the Ural River burst in the city. A day later, the dam burst in another place. On the morning of April 7, the water reached Orenburg, from where the evacuation of residents began.
According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, these large-scale floods in Russia were caused by natural factors, including waterlogging and subsequent freezing of the soil in the fall, large amounts of snow, sudden warming in the spring and heavy rains.
