The key facts

  • Uzbekistan's Ministry of Emergency Situations reported nighttime warning campaigns in Tashkent's mahallas
  • Loudspeaker announcements concern the prevention of carbon monoxide poisoning
  • Priority is given to 'red' category areas with a high level of risk

Nighttime warnings in mahallas

Nighttime awareness and warning campaigns aimed at preventing carbon monoxide poisoning are being held in Tashkent's mahallas: information is conveyed to residents through loudspeakers. The work is carried out by the territorial departments and divisions of the Fire and Rescue Service (FPR) of Tashkent.

Priority — high-risk zones

The notifications are conducted on the 'Kochabay' principle — with door-to-door visits and direct informing of residents. Particular emphasis is placed on 'red' category areas, where the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning is assessed as high: it is there that nighttime announcements are heard first of all.

What this means for residents

Such nighttime announcements are part of seasonal preventive work: residents are reminded of the danger of carbon monoxide, which is especially relevant during the heating season. The Ministry of Emergency Situations' message contains no data on specific poisoning cases, the duration of the campaigns, or a list of affected mahallas — this information was not provided in the publication.
