In Mykolaiv, they plan to spend 1.4 million hryvnias on the reconstruction of 11 automated systems of centralized notification of threats or emergency situations.

The relevant tender was published on the Prozorro public procurement site, NikVesti writes.

The client of the works is the Department of Capital Construction of the Mykolaiv City Council, the deadline for the supply of goods and the execution of the works must be completed by September 30, 2024. The tender documentation states that the contractor must lay cables and connect them to the necessary devices, install brackets for sirens and other warning devices, and install and configure software for optimal system performance.

We will remind that in 2024, 6.1 million hryvnias were allocated from the regional budget of the Mykolaiv Oblast to improve the public notification system.

According to Olena Horbachova, the deputy head of the civil protection department, the notification system in the Mykolaiv region was built in the 80s of the last century and was based on analog equipment. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, this system began to be improved, in particular, to switch from analog to digital signal transmission channels.

In addition, 96% of communities in the Mykolaiv region do not have a public notification system — sirens are installed only in two communities of the region — Mykolaiv and Yuzhnoukrainsk. Another 17 communities of the Mykolaiv region have already submitted projects for the arrangement of local warning systems for the approval of specialists of the regional civil protection department.

Also, 1 million 600 thousand hryvnias were allocated from the regional budget this year for the maintenance of the notification system.
