Emergency Situations Ministry warns of avalanche danger 14.02.2025
There are 619 areas with avalanche risk in the republic. The slopes of the Kazakhstan Altai, Ili, Zhetysu, Talas Alatau and Karatau ranges in the territories of East Kazakhstan, Almaty, Turkestan and Zhetysu regions are particularly dangerous areas. The most dangerous periods when avalanche activity increases are considered to be the beginning of winter and the beginning of spring. Today, avalanches in the southern and southeastern regions are characterized by an average avalanche risk in the middle mountainous regions, while the situation remains avalanche risk in the high mountains. In order to reduce risks for residents and tourists in the most dangerous areas, preventive measures, including avalanche prevention measures, have been taken. Experts predict that in 2025, avalanche activity in these regions may increase between February and April, when spontaneous avalanches are more common. This is especially true for high-mountainous areas, where there are sharp temperature fluctuations, heavy snowfalls and snowstorms, which can contribute to an increase in the risk of avalanches. Since the beginning of the avalanche danger period, 24 spontaneous avalanches have been recorded in closed, inaccessible areas. In order to ensure the safety of the population, tourists and vacationers, 58 preventive avalanches were carried out, the total volume of snow fell was about 42 thousand cubic meters. During dangerous periods, checkpoints are set up to restrict the entry of people and vehicles into the avalanche danger zone. Snow retaining shields are installed in the mountains. Residents and enterprises in avalanche danger zones have been given recommendations and brochures with instructions on behavior in case of avalanche danger. It is especially dangerous for skiers, tourists, and climbers. Therefore, in order to prevent human casualties and avoid being buried under an avalanche, everyone who goes to the mountains must learn the basic rules of conduct in the mountains and during an avalanche. If an avalanche warning is issued, it is better to refuse to go to the mountains. If there is no warning, then before setting off, it is necessary to know the weather forecast, draw up travel routes, avoid walking and skiing in unprepared areas, walk on marked trails, as well as learn as much as possible about areas with avalanche danger, and avoid dangerous slopes as much as possible. If heavy snow falls before going to the mountains, it is better to postpone the hike for two to three days, and if there is no avalanche, it is better to wait for it to subside. Due to the instability of the snow on the mountain slopes, the Ministry of Emergency Situations recommends not going to snowy mountain slopes and mountains in order to avoid causing avalanches, as well as to refuse to go to the mountains in the coming days.

Almaty metro is testing new dual-function fences 14.02.2025
New temporary fences that meet modern metro safety standards have been installed at the Raimbek Batyr station. They perform two main functions: they serve as a means of protection for passengers and are used as an advertising structure.Currently, these fences are being tested for their resistance to wind loads. After passing all the necessary tests, such fences will be installed at other metro stations. In addition, representatives of the metro noted that previously installed iron fences are also being checked and, if necessary, they will be removed."Almaty metro is always striving to improve infrastructure for the comfort of passengers. This decision is a temporary measure until automated platform doors (screen doors) are installed. All work is being carried out at the expense of the enterprise itself, without involving budget funds," the press service of the metro reported.It should be noted that temporary fences are a temporary solution designed to close the space between cars and are aimed at increasing passenger safety. The process of installing automated platform doors (screen doors) is time-consuming, as it requires design, preparation of a feasibility study, financing and public procurement procedures. In this regard, temporary fences are being installed to ensure the safety of passengers.KMC "Almaty Metro"Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/934686
