All the residents of the Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island will be rehoused after the flood that happened on the Khabarovsk Territory.
The houses previously inhabited by them were declared unfit. According to the results of the inspection examinations, all houses on the Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island were pronounced unfit for further use. Now all the residents of the island - about 400 people - will be rehoused to other places.
Only a fortified locality that has not suffered from the flood will be left at this place. In particular, the construction of the rapidly erected houses will soon begin in the southern district of Khabarovsk. The authorities have allocated a plot of land with the area of about one hundred acres for this purpose. Earlier, the Head of the Regional Ministry of Construction Andrei Popov said that the selection of the companies that will be engaged in the erection of the houses is almost complete. In his turn, the governor of the region Vyacheslav Shport said that there were no chances left to preserve the village. The head of the presidential administration Sergei Ivanov who visited the regional centre in early October has asked the regional authorities to help all islanders to resettle.
