New rules for evacuation measures in the event of a natural and man-made emergency threat come into force in Russia from 1 March.
Amendments were made to the federal law “On the protection of the population and territories from natural and man-made emergencies” by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of September 19, 2022.
Prior to this, one of the difficult problems to solve was the planning and implementation of optimal evacuation forms and methods.
In appropriate cases, evacuation can be made by the decision of officials designated by the relevant commissions (heads of organizations).
Provincial departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs provide for temporary traffic restrictions on certain sections of highways or changes in their establishment. They should also create other safe conditions for cars and pedestrians on evacuation routes.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian Guard are entrusted with the maintenance of public order.
The decision enters into force on 1 March 2023. Valid until 28 February 2029.
