In particular, Mr Berdnikov said that out of 15,000 flooded homes 4,000 were found unfit for living and required capital repair, while the funding allocated by the Government from the [disaster] relief [emergency] fund was insufficient. The President stressed that the Republic of Altai will receive the funding necessary to repair flood-damaged homes.
Mr Berdnikov also reported that the republic’s life-supporting infrastructure is functioning normally. Vladimir Putin thanked Mr Berdnikov for the flood relief efforts.
