English to Russian Other Environment & Ecology Disaster Risk Reduction

Risk assessments of different territories are summarized at the regional level and notified to all areas. These assessments include the information related to the levels of rivers in the spring, the space monitoring data in fire-risk period, an assessment of the situation at hydro meteorological center that is based on the data which provides weather forecasts and warnings on possible meteorological conditions.

At the same time, there is a good practice of mutual information sharing between neighboring territories on possible threat of cross-border emergency situations. Particularly, upstream-downstream information sharing is critical for Ust-Kamenogorsk city where rivers flow from neighboring areas. Upstream administration informs downstream communities of catastrophic and / or a sudden rise in water level. If disaster risks at the local level are known and risk factors are recognized, the same can be integrated into the design and construction of facilities.
