In Mykolaiv, a city headquarters was created to coordinate work on the elimination of snowdrifts, ice and other natural phenomena.

The relevant order dated November 4 was signed by Mykolaiv City Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych.

Snow from the streets of Mykolaiv is planned to be taken to a specially designated landfill near the village of Mishkovo-Pohorilove, in order to prevent flooding of the city's territories. In addition, during snowfalls, patrol police will control the entry of heavy-duty vehicles into the city, which will reduce traffic jams and facilitate the cleaning of precipitation.

Round-the-clock duty of communal services is foreseen, and KP ELU Avtodorig will ensure continuous clearing of roads from snow and their treatment with anti-icing materials.

The city authorities have provided assistance to elderly people and low-income families in case of worsening weather conditions. At the same time, city services will monitor the situation on the Southern Bug and Inhul rivers to avoid possible flooding.

KP Mykolaiv Parks and Mykolaivelectrotrans will clean sidewalks, public transport stops, and tram tracks. The owners of trade and public catering establishments were obliged to ensure the cleaning of the surrounding areas in order to guarantee the safety of pedestrians.

We will remind that at night in the Mykolaiv region, weather forecasters predict frost.
