The Ministry of emergency situations warns of the danger of landslides 06.01.2025
Since the beginning of the winter period in 2024-2025, snow cover has not fallen evenly. Currently, in most mountainous areas of the south and south-east of the Republic, the snow height is about average perennial values and slightly higher, the avalanche situation is stable, under the control of Kazsel protection specialists. A difficult avalanche situation is developing in the East Kazakhstan region. Today, the height of the snow is 25% more than the norm. In some places, the maximum height of the snow cover is 120 cm. The largest daily snowfall in the last few days is 20 cm. At the same time, the situation with avalanches is affected by an increase in air temperature and a snowstorm. The decision to carry out preventive descents is made taking into account the state of the snow cover (its height, significant increase as a result of snowfall, loose snow shift, unstable state, etc.). From the beginning of the winter period 2024-2025, 15 preventive avalanches with a total area of about 6665 M3 were filmed. "The branch of "" Department of Zhambyl territorial use "" of the state institution "" kazseldenskau ""together with the Department of emergency situations held a regional command and staff exercise ""Avalanche ""in the ""Koksay "" gorge of Zhualy District of Zhambyl region." As part of the exercise, joint actions of emergency rescue services and district civil protection services were demonstrated when rescuing people and carrying out emergency rescue operations in avalanche conditions. In addition, based on the seasonal forecast of RSE" Kazhydromet", it is expected that in January and February the air temperature and the amount of precipitation in most of the mountainous area will exceed the norm. Snow and thaws cause an unstable state of snow cover in the mountains and lead to an aggravation of avalanches. In the near future, the state institution "Kazselden protection" of the Ministry of emergency situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan plans to prevent avalanches. It is especially dangerous for skiers, tourists, climbers. Therefore, in order to avoid human losses, not to get caught in avalanches, everyone who goes to the mountains is obliged to learn the Basic Rules of behavior in the mountains and during avalanches. If an avalanche warning is announced, it is better to refrain from visiting the mountains. If there is no warning, then before setting off, it is necessary to know meteorological forecasts, draw up traffic routes, avoid walking and sliding on unprepared sections, walk along marked trails, as well as learn as much as possible about areas at risk of avalanches, avoid dangerous slopes as much as possible. If heavy snow falls before climbing the mountain, it is better to postpone the hike for two or three days, and in the absence of an avalanche, wait for it to settle. It is also important that the mountain is not visited alone or by two people: it is advisable to go in groups. This provides insurance in the event of avalanches, for example if team members are tied to the Avalanche line, which makes it possible to detect a snow-covered satellite. Before climbing the mountain, it is advisable to take an avalanche receiver with you, which will allow you to find a person trapped in an avalanche. It is very important not to forget to take your mobile phone with you (it saved several lives). It is also better to get a special avalanche backpack with a system of inflatable pillows that will allow a person who has encountered an avalanche to "float". In the mountains, you need to walk only along Valley paths, paved trails and mountain ranges, while it is important to remember that you cannot climb steep snowy slopes , cross them or zigzag. If the Avalanche rises high and there is time to do something, it is very important to remember one of the Basic Rules of behavior when the Avalanche goes against you: you need to leave the Avalanche stream to a safe place and move not down, but horizontally. You can also hide behind a ridge, in a cave, climb high, on a sturdy rock or a sturdy tree. If this cannot leave the avalanche, one of the rules of behavior says that it is necessary to immediately get rid of everything that is drawn into the Avalanche stream and restricts movement: a backpack, skis, sticks, an ice pack.
