Heavy rains are expected in Ruse Region until the end of the week, the Ruse Regional Administration said in a press release on Monday. Ruse Regional Governor Dragomir Draganov explained that the most intense rainfall is forecast for October 7 and 8, with the total amount of rainfall until October 9 expected to reach between 80 and 110 l/sq. m.

This could lead to local flooding, given that the soil is already saturated from previous rainfall. There is also a risk of landslides. Starting tomorrow, wind gusts will also intensify, sometimes exceeding 60 km/h.

The Ruse Regional Governor and his deputy Georgi Georgiev are in constant contact with all institutions involved in dealing with a possible crisis situation. Additional preventive measures may be introduced if necessary. In addition to ensuring people's safety, maintaining an uninterrupted power and water supply and communications is a top priority, Draganov underscored.
