Flood 💦 Response — Russia 🇷🇺 - Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 Floodwaters Mass evacuations are underway in cities in southern Russia and northern Kazakhstan due to floodwaters that have risen to critical levels after river embankments and a dam in the region burst last week. The rivers, including Europe's third-longest river (Ural), swelled as warm temperatures melted snow and ice, mixing with heavy rains. The flooding is the worst to hit the area in 80 years. Thousands of residents in the Russian city of Orenburg, which lies roughly 900 miles east of Moscow and near Russia’s border with Kazakhstan, were asked to evacuate Friday. The floodwaters had risen 37 feet in Orenburg Friday, leaving thousands of homes submerged in water. See photos of the flooding here. See satellite imagery here. More than 120,000 people have been evacuated so far from areas experiencing flooding. The total damage in the region is expected to cost roughly $227M. Government officials are also investigating whether construction violations may have caused the dam to collapse. https://lnkd.in/ew3fQr3J
