Vilnius awaits a severe storm, possibly even a natural disaster: services are already preparing

„In the event of very heavy rain, even a properly functioning rainwater drainage system cannot always immediately collect all the water, so temporary flooding may occur in some places. In addition, the approaching cyclone may cause trees to fall or break their branches, disrupt traffic and electricity supply, and cause other inconveniences in the city.

Therefore, we are preparing in advance. Today we are checking the condition of water pumps and saws, cleaning and inspecting the grates of rainwater drainage wells, preparing vehicles for pipeline washing and suction of sludge, sand, and other sediments.

We are also strengthening the emergency services team, gathering additional work supervisors for duty. Depending on the situation in the city, if necessary, we will also increase the number of operators on the 1355 call line to respond to residents’ reports as quickly as possible,“ – the „Grinda“ statement reads.
