DUSHANBE, 11.02.2021 (NIAT Khovar) – Today at a press conference the Chairman of the Committee for Emergency Situations and Civil Defense Rustam Nazarzoda said that the commissioning of a new early warning and monitoring system for Sarez Lake is planned for August 2021.
“Supply and installation of equipment is carried out by the Italian company SAE. The system will run along the border with Afghanistan to the Shahritus district, adjacent to the Surkhandarya region of Uzbekistan. The existing system of preliminary warning (sirens, radio communication) has currently been installed up to Rushon district,” Nazarzoda noted.
According to him, the monitoring and early warning system was installed in 2004. Due to long-term use, the system needed modernization. In order to modernize, improve and expand the system, as part of the implementation of the National Project on Disaster Risk Management the selection of a company was completed, and a contract was signed for the supply, installation and commissioning of operation of a new monitoring and early warning system on Sarez Lake.
