The Sakhalin region is eliminating the consequences of the first severe cyclone of the current snow season. A snowstorm on November 7-8 complicated traffic in the north and center of the island and affected the west coast. Due to strong winds, snow and ice, sections of roads were temporarily closed and bus lines were cancelled.
In the provinces of Oha and Nogliki, about 40 units of special equipment were sent for evacuation. Road workers remove snow, treat the surface from ice and monitor access to populated areas. The situation was particularly tense in the Kholmsky district, where heavy rains required intensive cleaning of streets, sidewalks and entrances to social institutions.
Reversing the consequences of bad weather is under the personal control of Governor Valery Limerenko. Each mayor is personally responsible for the speed and quality of road cleaning. This is only the first serious test of the municipalities' organizational abilities this coming winter: there is still a lot of snow and work ahead of us.
