MOSCOW, April 11 – RIA Novosti. At the moment, there is no need for a mass evacuation of the population from areas subject to heavy ash fall after the eruption of the Shiveluch volcano, said Vladimir Solodov, governor of the Kamchatka Territory. “After the doctor’s round, there will be targeted decisions (on the removal of the ash fall area – editor’s note) if there is evidence, but there is no longer a need for mass evacuation or displacement of people now. Neither rescuers nor specialists give such a recommendation, “said Solodov in a statement broadcast on the television channel “Russia 24”. He noted that residents of these areas are advised to continue to wear protective masks to prevent ash from entering the airways. “Of course, a decision (on the need for evacuation – editor’s note) will be taken on the spot. The vice-president (of the regional – editor’s note) of the government in charge of emergencies, the village chief, and doctors, and the rescuers are working on it now. They quickly assess the situation. But the most acute phase has already passed. At least now there is already visibility, that is, the air is light and transparent. In In this sense, suspended particles are already less in the air – the main one has already settled on the ground, “said the governor. The Shiveluch eruption in Kamchatka began early Tuesday morning local time. Several villages around the east of the peninsula were covered in an ash cloud. Residents were advised not to leave the area unnecessarily. According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the ash cloud may reach Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, located 450 kilometers away of Shiveluch. According to scientists, the fall of ash in the village of Klyuchi became the strongest in 60 years. There, the thickness of the ash layer reached eight centimeters. Shivelush is one of the largest volcanoes in Kamchatka. It includes three main structures: the Old Shiveluch Volcano, the Old Caldera, and the active Young Shiveluch Volcano. The height of the Young Shiveluch lava dome is 2500 meters. The volcano is located at the intersection of the Kuril-Kamchatka and Aleutian Island arcs at a distance of 50 kilometers from the village of Klyuchi in the Ust-Kamchatsky region and 450 kilometers from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
