In Lutsk, an extremely severe flood is expected. Hydrometeorologists forecast sudden warming, which will cause rapid snow melting. The temperature at the beginning of March is 5-7 degrees below normal and will remain so for another 10 days. But when the warming comes, the sun will be high. Adding to the worries is the fact that the ground at that time will be frozen, which will make moisture absorption difficult. Meteorologists say that in 2 weeks of February, the annual norm of snow fell and now its thickness is 28 centimeters compared to the norm of 10-15. And this year's snow also has a high water content – 80 percent. Therefore, compared to last year's, the level of meltwater will rise by one and a half meters! In Lutsk, according to the conclusions of the emergency situations department, 88 residential buildings, school No. 3, the Svityaz hotel, the zoo, the river port, and most dangerously – the city wells and the cemetery in the village of Garazdzha will fall into the flood zone. As the press secretary of the city mayor, Snizhana Shevchuk, said, the services have already been put on increased alert. Several powerful pump machines will operate in Lutsk, capable of pumping water at a rate of 110 liters per second. The housing maintenance services conducted a door-to-door survey of houses in the danger zone and warned citizens about a possible disaster. It is already known where they will be relocated in case of danger. Emergency services even want to deepen the bed of the Sapalaivka River to facilitate the runoff of meltwater. In addition, in the near future, city services will deal with street toilets in the zone of possible flooding.
