Note! It is worth noting that the evacuation of Orsk residents began on April 5. Then Russian media reported that the emergency was caused by a sharp melting of snow and an increase in water levels in the Ural River and the Iriklinsky reservoir. In the end, due to the high water level, a dam burst there, which they tried to fill with sand, but nothing came of it and the water flowed into the city.
