Chukotka residents will begin to use GPS trackers each time they go to tundra
This will make it possible to determine their exact location in case of emergency. The set of measures approved by Governor of the Chukotka Autonomous Area Vladislav Kuznetsov provides that the authorities should step up explanations as to why it is necessary to tell the family and monitoring services about your route and time of return.
The single register of organizations and volunteers, who are also to be trained and materially supported, will help raise the efficiency of search operations.
Reference guides on how to behave safely outdoors will be worked out for pupils of the 1st to 9th grades by the end of February. Mandatory briefings on this topic will also be introduced for workers whose duties are related to trips to tundra, including reindeer breeders.
The plan for 2026 calls for continuing works to equip houses with free-standing smoke detectors. Additionally, self-actuating extinguishers will be installed in the places of high fire risk, such as boilers and garages.
Moreover, EMERCOM and Interior Ministry services are to conduct joint exercises at the municipal level every three months. There are also plans to improve the mechanisms of emergency response at the water and air transport.
