YEREVAN, July 27. /ARKA/. Armenian Ministry of Extraordinary Situations
is intended to conduct its rescue activities in August under the
slogan "August without any accidents", said leader of special water
rescue team of the Armenian Ministry of Extraordinary Situations,
colonel of rescue service Samvel Lazarian to the journalists in
international press-center "Novosti".
Today due to regular prophylactic activities and technical equipment,
the number of water significantly reduced.
The number of people drawn in reservoirs of Armenia during beach
season is 15. The rescue team managed to save 16 people, of which
four are under 13. Nine of ten drawn are from the regions of Armenia
and in Sevan this number was six.
Rescue service is technically equipped, including transport and
communications means necessary for rescue works. The team of divers
is equipped with necessary equipment for the conduction of underwater
works.
"Today we have six rescue motor-boats, high-speed mini-boat and
research ship which implements rescue works in any weather conditions",
said Lazarian.
Along with the above mentioned, there occur a number of problems,
such as increase of Sevan level.
If formerly the buoys were installed in the distance of 20- 30 m from
the beach, now due to increase of water level they are installed
in the distance of 5-10 m, sometimes - 3 m. Usually, the buoys are
installed in the depth of about 1.6 meters and further, the depth of
the lake is abruptly increased.
There are trees, fragments of buildings and reinforcing steel are left
under water which can bring to certain damages for the swimmers. For
this reason, the rescue service warns them and asks not to swim in
prohibited places.
Beach territory in the section of Norashen and Chambarak in the zone
of Shorzha is under the control of rescuers, where there are a lot
of vacationers. Rescue works in Sevan are implemented via 19 rescue
points with 37 rescuers.
