According to the officially published graph, we can see that the consequences can be critical, there remain threats of ecological and nuclear catastrophe.
In many localities, roads are washed out and destroyed, making it much more difficult to evacuate people. Many settlements can only be reached by boat.
In spite of this local authorities and volunteers are actively evacuating the population, as of 16.00 about 2000 people have been evacuated.
In Mykolaiv the main center where evacuated people are brought was chosen by the regional military administration, a heating center (community shelter) that was opened by the International Blue Crescent and Bucak Relief Charitable Foundations.
It is equipped with a kitchen that allows to prepare hot meals, a bakery that allows to bake up to 5000 loaves of bread a day, a high power generator and a water tank of 5 tons, which allows to work autonomously.
