"I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all personnel of the Emergency Situations Ministry and those who are engaged in this hard service, who do their jobs with diligence and help the massive population of our country."

Vladimir Putin also met with the minister and said that in the past years, the ministry has made serious efforts to establish an emergency control and monitoring system, which significantly improved its efficiency.

KP reporters worked alongside the rescuers in Perm and at the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydro power plant. They say the rescue workers made it to the accident sites almost immediately. Vladimir Putin stressed that the ministry should now focus on a new task, which is emergency prevention.
