The CELESTIAL Convergence | http://thecelestialconvergence.blogspot.com/ August 19, 2013 - RUSSIA - Up to 100,000 people may be evacuated from flood-hit regions in Russia's Far East. Water levels at local reservoirs have already reached historic highs, and officials say the floods raging in the area are expected to continue rising even further. Floods are currently affecting over 32,500 locals living in over 5,000 homes. Over 17,000 residents have already left the area over the disaster. Viktor Ishayev, Russia's Minister for the Far East, said that "in the worst-case scenario up to 100,000 people could be evacuated" from the Amur, Khabarovsk and Jewish Autonomous Regions. The water level in the Amur River near Khabarovsk has risen 17 centimeters in one day and now stands at 657 centimeters, the regional office of the Emergency Ministry reported. Authorities fear that by August 25, the water level will reach the seven-meter mark. Dozens of bridges have been swamped by the waters, complicating the evacuation. The area adjacent to the Amur River is experiencing its highest water level ever. However, observers indicated that the situation remains relatively calm. "There is no panic like there was in Krymsk," one observer told Gazeta.ru, in a reference to the flood in a Krasnodar Region town two years that left nearly 200 dead and thousands homeless. "People are in combative mood. Maybe the locals are more used to the harsh weather conditions here. That's why they are calm, and are treating the situation with understanding. But of course all is quite horrible here." Authorities are dealing with the consequences of the disaster, with over 200 tons of relief cargoes being delivered by aircraft to the affected region. The water is rising in the streets of Khabarovsk, where local drivers are trying to negotiate the floods. 30,000 people are mobilized to cope with the flood with the help of 5,000 vehicles, boats and aircraft. Emergency workers are flying over the affected area, monitoring the water level around the clock. They are asking people to leave their homes, but for those who didn't have time to quit the region, boat evacuation is planned. Modern anti-flood technologies are also being used. Thirty water-filled flood control dams have been delivered to the region, along with humanitarian aid. Each dam is 25 meters long and can be easily erected on any type of surface, replacing over 1,000 sand bags. Medics have begun vaccinating to prevent an epidemic of infections such as typhoid fever and hepatitis, while locals have started drinking only boiled water as a precaution. "The damage is extensive, but the most significant achievement is there have been no casualties ... we cannot relax, there is still a lot of work to be done," Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised address.
