Flooding alert issued for provincial roads

Authorities have issued a warning regarding spring flooding along the A0902 highway between Murun and Bulgan, particularly at the 16th kilometer from Ikh-Uul soum of Khuvsgul Province and the 15th kilometer from Tarialan soum of Uvs Province, where overflow water is a growing concern. Drivers are urged to adjust their speed and take extra caution in these areas.

As temperatures rise during the spring, melting snow and ice contribute to the formation of overflow water, creating conditions for dangerous flooding, particularly in hilly or mountainous regions. This kind of flooding, caused by erosion and the overflowing of water, poses significant risks, including property damage and potential harm to the public. Local authorities have issued guidance for residents and organizations to reduce the risks associated with such natural disasters.

In light of the threat, residents are advised to avoid building gers or structures in areas prone to flooding, such as riverbeds, gullies, and low-lying sites where water is likely to flow. It is important to relocate from flood-prone zones to safer areas to ensure safety. Additionally, constructing protective barriers such as dikes, canals, or drainage systems can help mitigate the effects of flooding and water damage.

It is also essential to inform children about the dangers of floods and to ensure they do not play or be left unattended near rivers, lakes, or ponds. Families should take the necessary precautions to protect important documents and valuable items by storing them in elevated, secure locations that are safe from water damage. Essential supplies like clean water, food, and warm clothing should also be kept in areas that are unlikely to be impacted by flooding.

In preparation for potential accidents or property damage, authorities recommend considering insurance coverage for both personal safety and material possessions. Moreover, residents should refrain from constructing homes or buildings under high-voltage electrical lines, as flooding could exacerbate electrical hazards.

As spring approaches and the risk of flooding increases, local authorities urge the public to stay alert, follow the recommended safety measures, and take steps to protect their homes and families from the potential dangers of overflow water.
