Seismic reinforcement works will also be carried out in 7 nurseries in Auezovsky, Bostandyk and Medeu districts.Also, a 3-year project worth 168.8 million tenge is being implemented to assess the landslide danger and compile a passport of landslide-prone areas (the basin of the Kishi and Ulken rivers in Almaty, Kargaly, Aksai).According to the conclusion of the National Scientific Center for Seismological Observations and Research, in order to fully cover the territory of the Almaty agglomeration and increase the speed of processing seismological data, 70 more seismic stations must be additionally installed to the existing 51. This is planned to be done by the Akimat of Almaty from 2025 to 2026, which will improve the existing early warning system for an approaching earthquake.As a result, the territory of the city will be covered with seismic sensors that will work in a single software. In addition, work will be carried out to prepare the infrastructure for integration with the systems of neighboring countries such as China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.It is also planned to build a simulation training and methodological center. The implementation of this project will provide an opportunity to train the population in the necessary skills for self-rescue in various emergency situations. The instructors of the Center will teach citizens methods and techniques of self-rescue, as well as first aid in emergency cases.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/897986

In 2025, large–scale planting of three-tiered landscaping will begin on the territory of Almaty, where the first tier will consist of a lawn and flower beds, the second tier will consist of shrubs and ornamental plants, and the third will consist of large-sized trees. This became known during an extraordinary session of the maslikhat, at which the three-year budget of the city was approved.In total, it is planned to plant about 27 thousand large-sized trees, of which 23 thousand will be more than 4 meters high, and 4 thousand - more than 6 meters."Landscaping and greening of the city is our main priority in creating a comfortable urban environment and improving the quality of life of Almaty residents," Yerbolat Dosayev said.Planting will be carried out on public lands: along main streets, in parks, squares, boulevards and other public spaces. This approach will allow you to create shade and green areas in the shortest possible time, which is especially important for densely populated areas of the city.The project provides for the use of modern methods of planting and caring for trees. Within two years after planting, systematic care of the plantings will be organized, including drip irrigation and installation of automatic irrigation systems, as well as fertilizing trees and shrubs with mineral fertilizers adapted to local conditions, which will accelerate their survival.Landscaping is aimed at improving the environmental situation and improving the quality of the urban environment. Planting large-sized trees will reduce the time for the formation of a full-fledged green infrastructure and create comfortable conditions for residents.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/898008
