Compensation disbursement is scheduled to commence on July 17. Eligible residents will receive a one-time payment of 10,000 rubles for houses damaged by weather events. For those facing more substantial losses, additional payments of 50,000 rubles and 100,000 rubles are available, with the exact amounts determined and documented by a licensed attorney who represents the household, ensuring proper accountability and clear compensation for partial or complete property loss. This structured approach aims to deliver quick support while maintaining transparent, verifiable claims. (Source: TASS)

During the night of July 11–12, the Tuapse region experienced intense rainfall, with three separate monthly totals recorded in a short period and rainfall exceeding 280 millimeters in some locales. This extreme weather led to rising water levels in the Shapsuho, Defani, and Nechepsuho rivers, triggering a state of emergency in the settlements of Dzhubga, Novomikhailovsky, Nebugsky, and Tenginsky. Local authorities activated emergency protocols, mobilized resources, and issued public advisories to ensure resident safety, including evacuation measures where necessary, shelter provisions, and ongoing monitoring of river conditions.
