Forecasters later said that their forecast three hours before the start of the hurricane on the wind of 17-22 m/s is equivalent to a dangerous phenomenon, since under such conditions there may be damage that is comparable to the wind 28 m/s.
To request Rashkin said the Minister of emergency situations Vladimir Puchkov (with answer reviewed Russian service Bi-bi-si). He also referred to the forecast of Roshydromet on strong enough winds to the emergency mode. Beams says that the alert was made on the Bulletin Board in the streets of Moscow and in the media, and that it complies with the law.
In the Minister’s response also States that the Ministry “started the development of a draft national standard in parts of developing a unified classification of adverse levels of dangerous phenomena,” and that informing the public by using operators need to be refined.
