1 | Russia: Netizens Respond Online and Offline to Devastating Krymsk Floods | Rosia: Maneho Hevitra Momba Ny Tondradrano Nandrava An'i Krymsk Anaty Aterineto Sy Mivantana Ireo Mpampiasa Aterineto |
2 | On July 6-7, more than 170 people died and 35,000 were injured or lost their property [ru] in the floods in Krasnodar region (photos and video in these PublicPost reports [ru] - Day 1, Day 2, Day 3). | Tamin'ny 6-7 Jolay, maherin'ny 170 ireo olona maty ary 35 000 no naratra na tsy manan-kialofana [ru] noho ny tondra-drano tany amin'ny faritr'i Krasnodar (sary sy lahatsary ato amin'ireto tatitra PublicPost ireto [ru] - Andro 1, Andro 2, Andro 3). |
3 | The death toll is likely to grow, as rescuers and emergency services continue their work in the affected areas. | Toa mbola hitombo ny isan'ny fahafatesana, satria manohy ny asany ireo mpamonjy voina sy mpitsabo any amin'ireo faritra tratran'izany. |
4 | The hardest-hit town is Krymsk: water rose to over 3 meters there within minutes and late at night, when many people were asleep and did not have time to escape. | Ny tanàna tena voa mafy dia any Krymsk: nisondrotra 3 metatra ny haavon'ny rano tao anatin'ny minitra vitsy ny alina, raha mbola tanaty torimaso daholo ny olona ka tsy nanam-potoana handosirana. |
5 | In the blogosphere and on the ground, there is no consensus as to what caused the Krymsk catastrophe. | Ao amin'ny tontolon'ny blaogy sy any an-toerana, tsy mifanaraka ny hevitra amin'ny antony nahatonga ny loza tany Krymsk. |
6 | Some claim it was a natural disaster; others for a while believed the water in the nearby Neberdzhayevskoye Water Reservoir had been released towards Krymsk in order to keep the port city of Novorossiysk from being flooded; and there are also those who blame the tragedy on the unfortunate combination of extreme weather conditions (about four monthly norms [ru] of rainfall within one day), the unsatisfactory state of the reservoir, the town's vulnerability due to its location at the foot of the mountains and with several rivers nearby, and the authorities' failure to warn and evacuate the residents. | Ny sasany milaza fa loza voajanahary iny; ny hafa indray dia nino fa natondraka tao Krymsk ny rano tao amin'ny siniben-dranon'i Neberdzhayevskoye mba hiarovana ny tanàna amorontsirak'i Novorossiysk tsy ho tondraka; ary teo ihany koa ireo nanilika izany tamin'ny fisesisesen'ny fiovaovan'ny toetrandro (orana efa-bolana [ru] no nirotsaka tanatin'ny iray andro), ny teotry ny siniben-drano tsy mahafa-po, ny fahalemen'ny tanàna noho izy eo am-pototry ny tendrombohitra sy voahodidinà renirano maro, ary ny tsy nahavitàn'ireo manampahefana nampandre sy namindra ireo mponina. |
7 | Most of these online discussions are politicized, too: bloggers who subscribe to the view that there was no human factor involved in the disaster are clashing with those who hold local and federal authorities responsible for deliberate actions and negligence that, in their opinion, resulted in severe damage and numerous casualties. | Misy ambadika politika ihany koa ny ankamaroan'ireo adihevitra amin'ny aterineto: ireo bilaogera mihevitra fa tsy noho ny olombelona no nahatonga ny loza, dia mifandona amin'ireo manameloka ny manampahefana any an-toerana noho ny tsy firaharahiana sy fanahy niniana izay niteraka fahasimbàna goavana sy ratra maro, raha ny hevitr'izy ireo. |
8 | Official statements have been inconsistent, and a lot of people, both online and in the affected region, are not convinced by the messages that the authorities are trying to convey. | Mifanohitra ireo fanambaràna ofisialy, ary maro ireo olona, na amin'ny aterineto na any amin'ny faritra voa, no tsy resy lahatra amin'ireo hafatra tian'ireo manampahefàna ampitaina. |
9 | The blogosphere hasn't been the most reliable source, either: many bloggers were basing their theories on the information that later turned out to be false. | Tsy dia azo antoka loatra koa anefa ny vaovao tamin'ny tontolon'ny blaogy: maro ireo mpitoraka blaogy no nanangana ny heviny tamina vaovao izay tsy marina akory. |
10 | The Neberdzhayevskoye Reservoir, for example, does not have floodgates, so the authorities could not have opened them to let the water out; there is a mountain range that separates Novorossiysk from the Neberdzhayevskoye Reservoir, and its waters couldn't have flown towards the city; the other reservoir, Varnavinskoye, mentioned in some of the earlier post-disaster blog posts as a possible source of flood water that hit Krymsk, is located at a lower altitude than Krymsk, not above it. | Ny siniben-dranon'ny Neberdzhayevskoye, ohatra, dia tsy manana famoahan-drano, ka tsy ho afaka namaha izany hamoahana ny rano ireo manampahefana; misy tandavan-tendrombohitra manasaraka an'i Novorossiysk amin'ny siniben-dranon'ny Neberdzhayevskoye, ka tsy ho afaka nitobaka tany an-tanàna ny rano; ilay sinibe iray hafa, Varnavinskoye, voatonona tanatin'ireo lahatsoratra blaogy tetsy aloha taorian'ny loza fa mety ho niavian'ny rano nanondraka an'i Krymsk, dia amin'ny toerana ambanin'i Krymsk no misy azy, fa tsy amboniny. |
11 | All this adds to the general confusion and makes it even harder to understand what really happened in Krymsk. | Manampy izany koa ny fikorontanana amin'ny ankapobeny ka vao maika mahasaro-takarina ny tena nitranga tany Krymsk. |
12 | As Masha Gessen wrote on the New York Times' Latitude blog, “Thus in addition to the tragedy of the people who died in Krymsk, there's the tragedy of having no hope of ever knowing what really happened to them.” | Araka ny nosoratan'i Masha Gessen tao amin'ny blaogy New York Times' Latitude, “Ankoatra ny loza noho ireo olona namoy ny ainy tany Krymsk, eo koa ny loza noho ny tsy fisian'ny fanantenana hahafantatra izay tena nahazo azy ireo.” |

16 | A number of bloggers have analyzed the situation, drawing on the photos, maps, infographics and other data available. | Maromaro ireo mpitoraka blaogy no nandinika ny toe-javatra, nanoratsoratra tamin'ny sary, saritany, vaovao an-tsary ary ireo rakitra hafa teo an-tànana. |
17 | LJ user eugenyshultz, in a lengthy post that has generated over 2,500 comments, offered this explanation [ru]: | Eugenyshultz, mpampiasa LJ, dia nanome ity fanazavàna [ru] ity tao anaty lahatsoratra lava izay nitarika fanehoan-kevitra maherin'ny 2500 : |
18 | […] The flooding in Krymsk is the result of an extremely heavy rain in the mountains, which caused a massive deluge of water from the mountains, and because of that ALL mountainous streams as well as the rivers Bogago, Neberdzhay and Bakanka merged into a catastrophic torrent that went along the Adagum River, which flows through the center of [Krymsk]. | […] Ny tondradrano tany Krymsk dia vokatry ny oram-baratra nikija tany an-tendrombohitra, izay niteraka tondradrano be avy tany amin'ireo tendrombohitra, ka noho ireo, ny ranon-trambo avy any an-tendrombohitra REHETRA hatramin'ireo renirano Bogago, Neberdzhay ary Bakanka, dia nitambatra ho ranobe mampidi-doza izay niaraka tamin'ny renirano Adagum, izay mikoriana any afovoan'i Krymsk. |
19 | And the reservoir must have overflowed, too, but the water from the reservoir ALONE could not have done this much damage. […] | Ary mety ho nitobaka koa ny siniben-drano, nefa raha ny ranon'ny sinibe IRERY dia tsy ho nahavita loza be toa izao. […] |
20 | LJ user abondarcev, an engineer specializing in bridge construction, concluded [ru] that the Neberdzhayevskoye Reservoir's drainage system was inadequate and unlikely to be able to prevent an overflow caused by heavy rains: | Abondarcev, mpampiasa LJ sady injeniora amin'ny fanamboarana tetezana, dia namintina [ru] fa tsy mety ny fanarian-dranon'ny siniben'i Neberdzhayevskoye sady tsy ho afaka nisoroka tondradrano ateraky ny oram-be nikija: |
21 | […] This [the Reservoir] is not really a bathtub, it's a swimming pool 50×50 meters with a drain opening [the size of] that of a bathtub. | […] Izy io [ilay sinibe] dia tsy tena “baignoire” akory, fa toeram-pilomanosana 50×50 metatra manana fanarian-drano mitovy habe amin'ny an'ny “baignoire”. |
22 | […] How can you build a city and not inform the people living there? | […] Amin'ny fomba ahoana no ahafahanao manangana tanàna nefa tsy mampandre ireo vahoaka monina ao akory? |
23 | And they live there until the first serious rain in the mountains. | Dia monina ao izy ireo hatramin'ny oram-be voalohany avy any an-tendrombohitra. |
24 | A normal water reservoir has to be constructed, with a normal drainage system, and a canal bypassing the city has to be dug out in case some overflows occur […]. | Tokony manangana siniben-drano manara-penitra, misy fanarian-drano ara-dalàna, ary tokony handavaka tatatra mihodidina ny tanàna raha sanatria misy tondradrano […]. |
25 | […] The authorities hold responsibility for the town's location and for the lives of the people who live in a place that is so unfit for life - it starts to rain and the town is washed away… […] | […] Tompon'andraikitra ireo manampahefàna ny amin'ny toerana misy ny tanàna sy ny amin'ny ain'ireo olona mipetraka amina toerana tsy tsara onenana tahaka io - vao avy ny orana dia lasan'ny rano ny tanàna… […] |
26 | Suren Gazaryan, a local environmental activist (LJ user gazaryan-suren), wrote this [ru]: | Suren Gazaryan, mafana fo mpiaro ny tontolo iainana any an-toerana (anarana LJ : gazaryan-suren), dia nanoratra ity [ru]: |
27 | […] I drove up along the rivers Bakanka and Neberdzhay, as far as I could. | […] Nandeha fiara nanaraka ireo renirano Bakanka sy Neberdzhay aho, araka izay lavitra tratrako. |
28 | Came to a conclusion that the release of water from the Neberdzhayevskoye Reservoir could not have been the cause of the flooding, even though the locals support this version. | Farany dia azoko antoka fa tsy ny famoahana ny rano avy tao amin'ny siniben'i Neberdzhayevskoye no anton'ny tondradrano, na dia nino izany hevitra izany aza ny eny an-toerana. |
29 | Water level was up in all the tributaries of the Adagum River, not just in the Neberdzhay River, on which the Reservoir is located. | Niakatra avokoa ny haavon'ny rano tamin'ny làlana rehetra misy ny renirano Adagum, fa tsy tany amin'ny reniranon'i Neberdzhay irery akory, izay nametrahana ilay siniben-drano. |
30 | LJ user moshkow did some calculations [ru], estimating that some 3-10 million cubic meters of water must have entered Krymsk at the speed of 1,000-3,000 cubic meters per second (while, normally, the water in the Adagum River moves through Krymsk at 10-30 cubic meters per second), and it was exiting Krymsk too slowly, at 150-500 cubic meters per second, due to the insufficient width of the “exit canyon” outside Krymsk: | Moshkow, mpampiasa LJ dia nanao kajikajy madinika [ru], ary nahita fa eo amin'ny 3-10 tapitrisa metatra toratelo eo ny rano tsy maintsy niditra an'i Krymsk tamin'ny hafainganam-pandeha 1 000-3 000 metatra toratelo isan-tsegondra (raha ohatra ka 10-30 metatra toratelo isan-tsegondra kosa ny hafainganam-pandehan'ny renirano Adagum mandalo any Krymsk no tokony ho izy), ary niadana loatra ny nivoahany an'i Krymsk, 150-500 metatra kioba isan-tsegondra monja, noho ny fahateren'ny “hantsana fivoahana” ivelan'i Krymsk: |
31 | I became curious about the reasons of the flood in Krymsk. | Nanitikitika ahy ny anton'ny tondradrano tany Krymsk. |
32 | Things written by “the opponents of the regime” and by “the defenders of the regime” are turning into a crazy mix of [deliberate disinformation], lies, meaningless as well as real facts. | Manjary lasa fifangaroana lainga [fanahy iniana], resaka tsy misy dikany ary zava-marina ny zavatra soratan'ireo “mpanohitra ny fitondràna” sy ny “mpiaro ny fitondràna”. |
33 | So let's just count […]. […] | Ka andeha isaina fotsiny […]. […] |
34 | Moral #1. | Lesona #1. |
35 | With water inflow of 3,000 cubic meters per second and water outflow of 500 cubic meters per second - Krymsk was doomed to sink. | Miaraka amin'ny rano mandeha 3000 metatra toratelo isan-tsegondra sy mivoaka 500 metatra kioba isan-tsegondra - efa voaozona hilentika i Krymsk. |
36 | Moral #2. | Lesona #2. |
37 | There was no wave or tsunami. | Tsy nisy onja na “tsunami”. |
38 | But there was a rather quick flooding of up to 5-7 meters high - as in a bathtub whose drain opening is ten times narrower than the entry opening. | Fa nisy tondradrano nalaky be nanodidina ny 5-7 metatra ny haavony - tahaka ny anaty ‘baignoire' izay im-polo lavitra ny hakelin'ny fivoahan-dranony raha miohatra amin'ny fidiran'ny rano. |
39 | Moral #3. | Lesona #3. |
40 | The Neberdzhayskoye Reservoir made its contribution to the flooding [65 cubic meters per second through its drain opening]. […] | Nandray anjara tamin'ny tondradrano ny siniben-dranon'i Neberdzhayskoye [65 metatra toratelo isan-tsegondra amin'ny fivoahan-dranony]. […] |
41 | Moral #4. | Lesona #4. |
42 | Neberdzhay gave us 65 cubic meters per second, but Krymsk was getting over 1,000 cubic meters per second. | Neberdzhay dia nanome antsika 65 metatra toratelo isan-tsegondra, nefa nahazo maherin'ny 1 000 metatra toratelo isan-tsegondra i Krymsk. |
43 | The rest of it came from the unblocked streams and rivers […], which carried all the water […] into the plains […] and into the Adagum River. | Ny ambin'izay dia avy amin'ireo ranon-trambo tsy voatohana sy ny renirano […], izay nitondra ny rano rehetra […] hankany amin'ny tany lemaka […] ary ho ao amin'ny renirano Adagum. |
44 | Moral #5. | Lesona #5. |
45 | The flooding alert system has to be different from what it is now in the places like the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus (and it appears that there was almost no warning). | Ny rafitra fanairana amin'ny tondradrano dia tokony ho hafa noho izay misy ankehitriny any amin'ny morontsiraky ny Ranomasina Mainty sy ny any Kaokazy (ary hay saika tsy nisy fampandrenesana mihitsy). |
46 | Moral #6. | Lesona #6. |
47 | When you live in an area that allows more water in than out - you must listen very carefully and know how much [precipitation] has fallen on the mountains above you. | Raha monina amina toerana mampiditra rano betsaka noho ny avoakany ianao - tokony hihainohaino matetika ianao ary hahafantatra ny habetsaky ny rotsak'orana avy amin'ny tendrombohitra any amboninao any. |
48 | Roustem Adagamov (LJ user drugoi, @adagamov) tweeted: | Roustem Adagamov (anarana LJ: drugoi, @adagamov) dia nibitsika hoe: |
49 | I think that, most likely, they simply failed to give warning to the residents in #krymsk, treated it as [something unimportant]. | Mieritreritra aho fa tena toa tsy nahavita nampandre ireo mponina tao #krymsk tsotra izao ry zareo, nandray izany ho tsy dia [misy dikany loatra]. |
50 | That's why so many died inside their houses. | Izany no nahamaro ireo maty tao an-tranony. |
51 | While some RuNet users are trying to figure out the cause of the tragedy in Krymsk, others are either on their way to the affected region or already there, as volunteers or journalists. | Raha miezaka ny mitady ny anton'ny loza tany Krymsk ireo mpampiasa RuNet sasany, ny hafa kosa, na an-dàlana ho any amin'ny faritra voa, na efa any, amin'ny maha-mpirotsaka an-tsitrapo na mpanao gazety azy. |
52 | Much of the current online discussion focuses on the relief effort, too. | Maro amin'ireo adihevitra amin'ny aterineto koa amin'izao no mifantoka amin'ny ezaka fanavotana. |
53 | On Twitter, hashtags #крымск (“Krymsk”) and #поможем (“let's help”) are being used, and among those tweeting from Krymsk and the surrounding areas now are Miriam Elder (@MiriamElder - en, ru), Konstantin Dikhtyar (@konstantinmsk - ru), Suren Gazaryan (@Suren_Gazaryan - ru), Roman Pereverzev (@RomanPomych - ru), Danila Lindele (@dlindele - ru), Alyona Popova (@alyonapopova - ru), Ilya Ponomarev (@iponomarev - ru), Anastasia Karimova (@aakarimova - ru), @Cockroach_brain (coordinates volunteers; her July 8 photos from Krymsk are here - ru), Dmitry Maletin (@eMaletin - ru). | Ao amin'ny Twitter, ampiasaina ny tenifototra #крымск (“Krymsk”) sy #поможем (“ndeha hanampy”), ary anisan'ireo mibitsika avy any Krymsk sy ireo faritra manodidina i Miriam Elder (@MiriamElder - en, ru), Konstantin Dikhtyar (@konstantinmsk - ru), Suren Gazaryan (@Suren_Gazaryan - ru), Roman Pereverzev (@RomanPomych - ru), Danila Lindele (@dlindele - ru), Alyona Popova (@alyonapopova - ru), Ilya Ponomarev (@iponomarev - ru), Anastasia Karimova (@aakarimova - ru), @Cockroach_brain (mpandrindra ireo mpirotsaka an-tsitrapo; hita ato ireo sariny tamin'ny 8 Jolay tany Krymsk - ru), Dmitry Maletin (@eMaletin - ru). |
54 | ITAR-TASS photographer Sergey Karpov posted this mini-report [ru] on his Facebook page last night: | Sergey Karpov, mpaka sarin'ny ITAR-TASS dia namoaka ity tatitra fohy [ru] ty tao amin'ny pejiny Facebook tamin'ny alina: |
55 | Life is returning to Krymsk: electricity and, partially, gas have been turned back on. | Miverina ny fiainana ao Krymsk: niverina nandeha tsikelikely ny herinaratra sy ny “gaz”. |
56 | There are many volunteers from all over [Kuban]. | Maro ireo mpirotsaka an-tsitrapo avy any [Kuban] iray manontolo. |
57 | They are constantly bringing food, clothing, water. | Tsy mitsahatra mitondra sakafo, akanjo, rano fisotro izy ireo. |
58 | Still, do bring more, it won't go unneeded. | Nefa na mitondra maromaro kokoa aza tsy ho ampy. |
59 | Old people have been relocated to the kindergarten, there are tent camps for victims and those who are now homeless. […] | Nafindra tany amin'ny toeram-pitaizana zazakely ireo zokiolona, misy tobinà tranolay ho an'ireo tra-boina sy ireo tsy manan-kialofana. […] |
60 | Some of the citizen media tools, platforms and initiatives [ru], whose goal is to coordinate the relief effort, are: the Ushahidi-based Kuban/Krymsk Help Map (launched by RuNet Echo's Gregory Asmolov); the Floods sections of Rynda.com (Virtual Alarm; a GV text about this initiative is here); krymskhelp and this post on Krasnodar Live! on LiveJournal; Facebook groups “Help for Kuban” (1,333 members) and “Aid for Victims of Kuban Floods” (606 members); VKontakte communities - here (583 members) and here (4,637 members); this message board at Kuban.ru. | Indreto ny sasany amin'ireo fitaovana, sehatra ary tetikasa fampielezam-baovaon'olon-tsotra [ru], izay mandrindra ny ezaka fanavotana: ny sarintany fanampiana Kuban/Krymsk anny Ushahidi (novokarin'i Gregory Asmolov, RuNet Echo); ny Sampana tondradrano ao amin'ny Rynda.com (Fanairana virtoaly; ito ny lahatsoratry ny GV momba io tetikasa io); krymskhelp ary ity lahatsoratra ity Krasnodar Live! ao amin'ny LiveJournal; vondrona Facebook “Fanampiana ho an'i Kuban” (mpikambana 1 333) ary “Vonjy ho an'ireo traboinan'ny Tondradrano tany Kuban” (mpikambana 606); fiaraha-monina VKontakte - ato (mpikambana 583) ary ato (mpikambana 4 637); ity famelan-kafatra ity ao amin'ny Kuban.ru. |
