Rain and Snow: Prepare for Heavy Precipitation

Given that heavier snow and rain precipitation is expected in the coming period, according to weather forecasts from some meteorological stations, which will affect certain areas of the Balkan Peninsula, we warn all legal and natural persons to IMMEDIATELY, in accordance with their jurisdictions and obligations, take the necessary preventive measures to protect against snow and rain precipitation, reports the BiH news agency Patria.

This includes preparing adequate forces and material-technical resources for a rapid response to the announced snow and rain precipitation, as this will create the conditions for more efficient and faster reaction of all subjects of the protection and rescue system in a comprehensive response to all future potential challenges and threats, and thus avoid major material damage, as well as numerous injuries and human casualties.

Bearing in mind that, according to the aforementioned forecasts, a large snow cover is expected, especially in the mountainous parts, which can cause the most problems in traffic, we especially appeal to the competent authorities in municipalities and the Canton to check the readiness of legal entities with whom they have signed contracts for winter road maintenance, whether they have a sufficient number of machines and other resources to react in time to potentially possible heavy snowfall.
