According to preliminary estimates, the agriculture of Transcarpathia suffered damage from the elements in the amount of 50 million UAH. To restore the water sector of the region, at least 100 million UAH will be required.
On May 26, 2019, on Sunday, the regional commission on technogenic and environmental safety and emergency situations gathered for an unplanned meeting. Members of the commission discussed how the flood is and how to eliminate its consequences.
The acting chairman of the Regional State Administration, Yaroslav Galas, said that the elements covered 94 settlements in 10 districts of the Transcarpathian region. Until the flood left the region. Forecasters predict that Tuesday and Wednesday of this week will again be with rains that can lead to flooding.
But the water level of the rivers of the Irshavsky and Vinogradovsky districts became lower. The exact amount of losses incurred by the region will be named after entering into the documents of all damaged objects.
Approximate estimates show that only water management will require about 100 million UAH to deal with the consequences of a natural disaster. More than 50 million UAH is the approximate damage caused by the flood to the population’s agriculture, where greenhouses were flooded in the Irshava and Vinogradov districts. In the process of the commission, the numbers will be more accurate.
The Commission of Emergency Situations and TEB decided to qualify this flood as a natural emergency at the regional level, which gives reasons to contact the Cabinet of Ministers and ask for funds from the state budget reserve fund to deal with the consequences of the disaster.
