To ensure safety in the event of a repeated mudflow, about a thousand people were evacuated from three microdistricts of Tyrnyauz.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel wrote, in connection with the threat of a new mudflow, the authorities called on the residents of the Tyrnyauz microdistrict of Gerkhozhan to evacuate, for whom three temporary accommodation points were organized. As of the morning of August 1, 342 people were evacuated. In the evening, the authorities announced the evacuation of residents of another part of Tyrnyauz. Residents were asked to clear their yards of cars and proceed to temporary accommodation points.

On July 31, a powerful mudflow descended on Tyrnyauz, the mudflow filled the first floor of the Elbrus District administration building. Some microdistricts were left without water, electricity and gas, and the authorities announced the evacuation of residents of a number of houses. The previous mudflow in Tyrnyauz descended on July 21, and since that day, a state of emergency has been in effect in the Elbrus District.

About a thousand people from three microdistricts of Tyrnyauz have been evacuated from the city to ensure their safety in case the mudflow comes down again, Interfax reported today, citing the administration of the Elbrus district of Kabardino-Balkaria.

According to a representative of the administration, four temporary accommodation points have been organized for the evacuees. At these points, as reported by the head of the republic Kazbek Kokov, the evacuees are provided with water and everything they need. Under favorable conditions, they will return home.

Back in 2018, geophysicists warned the authorities about the need for urgent repairs to the mudflow channel in Tyrnyauz and called for the organization of a warning system about the threat of mudflows. In June 2021, the Ministry of Emergency Situations reported that a 24-hour post had been set up on the Gerkhozhan-Su River to monitor possible mudflows.

In 2020, geophysicists spent two weeks surveying the Buzulgan landslide. During this time, the landslide moved down by 20 meters, its boundary was two kilometers from Tyrnyauz. To avoid catastrophic consequences, it is necessary to clear and reconstruct the mudflow channel, experts said at the time.
