The Varėna district administration reported that the region experienced the fifth wind event this month, resulting in property damage among residents, though no injuries were reported. The primary concern highlighted by the administration is the disruption to the electricity supply. Due to downed power lines and fallen trees, residents have been advised against entering forested areas.
The administration issued a specific warning that a significant portion of the lines are not merely lying on the ground; trees are hanging overhead, which presents a considerable danger. The ongoing storm has caused substantial losses across the area, including fallen trees and damaged roofing on residences. In response to the escalating situation, the Emergency Situations Operations Center was reactivated on Saturday evening.
A subsequent meeting was convened on Sunday, bringing together representatives from the district elders and various responsible institutions to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the damage and the current status of services. Authorities are coordinating efforts to manage the aftermath of the severe weather. The focus remains on restoring essential services, particularly electricity, while simultaneously cautioning the public regarding hazardous areas.
The ongoing assessment aims to mitigate further risk and ensure a coordinated recovery effort across the affected communities.
