The Secretariat of the Northern Forum donated 2 chainsaws, respirators, first aid kits to the public volunteer headquarters of Yakutia against the forest fires.

The public volunteer headquarters of Yakutia against the forest fires is located at Ordzhonikidze St., 28, Yakutsk, Sakha Republic (Yakutia) 677000.

 

Today there are 155 ongoing forest fires throughout the territory of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) with total area of 3.36 million hectares. Fires have begun to appear dangerously close the settlements, with a high risk of spreading over them. By now, the fires have already caused devastations. According to approximate estimates, the total damage caused by the fires is more than 1 billion rubles (13 598 652 USD).

The Northern Forum brings together regions not only for a common dialogue, but also for solving common problems and provide assistance in crisis situations.

In this regard, the Northern Forum Secretariat announces the beginning of accepting any humanitarian supply (essential goods) as well as financial support. Money transfers are taken to the checking account of the Association for the Promotion of the Northern Territories Development (The Northern Forum Academy, The Northern Forum Secretariat).
