According to the National Hydrometeorology Service, rainy weather is expected in the coming days, with intense precipitation in some areas, short-term flash floods in some mountain rivers, and lightning. Also, due to the strengthening of moderate westerly winds and rising temperatures, there is a possibility of avalanches in high mountainous areas.
“Elchi” reports that, in connection with the aforementioned, the Ministry of Emergency Situations has appealed to the public, urging them to adhere to relevant safety rules.
Thus, to protect against floods and flash floods that may be caused by intense precipitation, it is recommended to stay away from flood-prone areas, and if faced with this danger, immediately move to nearby high ground.
At the same time, to protect against lightning-related dangers, it is necessary to disconnect electrical devices from the network, avoid talking on the phone (landline, mobile, payphone, etc.), when outdoors, do not approach power lines, lightning rods, downspouts, and antennas, do not take shelter under tall trees and for this purpose, choose a relatively low-lying area, and if in a car, stop the movement, raise the windows, and wait for the lightning to pass.
Also, considering the avalanche danger in some high mountainous areas, it is recommended to stay away from areas with avalanche risk, including steep slopes.
Remember: Indifference to rules is a danger to our lives!
In case of danger, call 112!
