Point of View

“I would like to point out that it is important to make sure that only modern equipment is installed and materials suitable for extreme climate conditions are used during this modernisation. We need to be prepared for any challenges related to weather conditions, including extreme temperatures, freezing rain and so on. We need to ensure that we will avoid massive blackouts, like the ones that we faced this past winter”.

“Overall, we plan to allocate some 14 billion roubles to the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring between 2011 and 2013. First and foremost, we will need to revamp the entire network of hydrometeorological stations. In 2011, a total of 1,600 ground-based hydrometeorological stations will be modernised and another 300 stations will be built”.
