The mayor expressed gratitude toward rescue crews, law enforcement, and public institutions for their efficiency and seamless collaboration in addressing the emergency.
Kopaygorodsky underscored that the city did not suffer any loss of life as a result of the natural disaster. He also warned residents that the storm warning would persist through the end of the day on November 27, advising people to stay alert and prepared for potential deteriorations in weather conditions and to follow official guidance for safety and travel plans.
