The meeting discussed the ways of dealing with the consequences of the flood in Yakutia.
Mr Putin said that Yakutia needed 360 million roubles for housing construction and repairs, of which federal allocations would make 270 million roubles.
He said that the Government would establish a relief commission, to be led by Anvar Shamuzafarov, Chairman of Gosstroi—the State Committee for Housing Construction.
The President summarised the meeting in a number of orders to Government members.
