A state of emergency has been declared in Odesa region
A state of emergency of national level has been declared in the Odesa region after a meeting of the regional commission on technogenic and ecological safety and emergency situations. This was reported by the head of the Odesa Regional State Administration, Oleg Kiper.
He stated that the decision was made during the meeting of the regional commission on technogenic and ecological safety and emergency situations.
“The basis for this was the consequences of the Russian attacks on energy infrastructure in recent times, which led to prolonged - over 3 days - disruptions of normal living conditions for more than 50 thousand residents of the region,” Kiper wrote.
According to the commission's conclusions, local authorities, community leaders, and the police must work with entrepreneurs and the population to effectively conserve electricity and ensure critical infrastructure.
Oleg Kiper also stated that funds will be directed to replenish fuel reserves for generators that support the operation of hospitals, schools, and other important facilities.
