We remind you that to prevent disasters, it is necessary to remove the thick layer of snow accumulated on roofs, roofs, gazebos, warehouses, pavilions, balconies, other temporary buildings, since they may not support the construction of buildings due to increased loads. Special attention should be paid to flat roofs!
Another very important thing: avalanches of snow can start to slide off sloping roofs. Be careful!
PS: We ask the companies that manage the houses to pay attention to the accumulated snow on the roofs and to protect the property of the residents ”.
