Already 90 residents of Kamchatka have received compensation for housing damaged by the earthquake.
In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, houses most damaged by the summer 2025 earthquake are being resettled.
The program includes 12 buildings, and the owners themselves choose whether to receive money or new housing in return.
"The first families are already settling in the new place. The majority chose financial compensation - about 130 families," says Vladimir Solodov, governor of the Kamchatka region.
Raisa Lagado from the house in Kapitan Belaiv also chose to pay, so as not to wait and choose the option herself: "I needed not a two-room apartment but three rooms - I have children."
The money arrived in 20 days, and now she is renovating a new apartment near Okyanskaya, not far from school and work. In total, 129 owners preferred compensation, 90 people have already received it.
Let us recall that Russian President Vladimir Putin supported resettlement after a meeting with Solodov in 2025: almost 900 million rubles of federal money was allocated for it.
The funds go through the area development fund, and some of the costs are covered by the regional budget.
These days the resettlement of five houses with 188 apartments is ongoing. For seven more, land seizure is taking shape, after which the housing will be evaluated for compensation later.
