Minister of Construction and Housing and Community Services Irak Faizulin reported on the readiness of the municipal infrastructure for the heating season The heating season has begun in 83 regions of Russia. The average level of readiness of urban infrastructures for the autumn-winter period is 99%. From the beginning of the season, 13% fewer accidents were recorded in housing facilities and community services than last year. The average elimination time is 4 hours. In order to respond immediately to accidents and eliminate their consequences, 25,500 emergency teams with a total number of 112,000 people were established in the regions. Drills were held in each municipality, a training course "Basic Principles of Heat Power Engineering and Industrial Safety" was launched, and visits by experts from the Russian Ministry of Construction were organized to provide assistance to the regions in case of major accidents. Fuel reserves are created. 5.4 million tons of coal and 2.4 million tons of liquid fuel were prepared. This is almost a third higher than the standard. The government especially supports the regions in preparing and stabilizing the work of housing facilities and community services. Thus, Belgrade, Kursk and the Jewish Autonomous Regions received 7.3 billion rubles. The Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Energy are implementing a program to improve the reliability of life support systems. We are talking about strengthening the fuel supply, creating backup sources, decentralizing and protecting critical facilities. From September 1, measures to protect facilities are included in companies' investment plans, and the federal budget provides funds to support areas in need.
