50 million rubles raised to help victims Floods in Dagestan

The Dagestan Charity Fund has raised 50 million rubles to help residents of the republic affected by the floods.

Residents of Dagestan affected by the floods will receive assistance from the Dagestan government's reserve fund, the republic's Ministry of Labor and Social Development announced today on its Telegram channel. "The main thing is not to miss the application deadline!" the message emphasized.

According to the publication, each victim is entitled to a one-time financial assistance of 15,675 rubles per person. Financial assistance is also provided for the loss of essential property: 78,735 rubles per person if the property is partially lost, and 156,750 rubles per person if the property is completely lost.

"In the event of injury to health: 627,000 rubles for serious or moderate injury, 313,500 rubles for minor injury. In the event of death: 1,567,500 rubles are paid to the family members of the deceased. The amount is divided equally among all family members," the department reported.

To receive financial assistance of 15,675 rubles, an application must be submitted within one month of the declaration of the state of emergency, the Ministry of Labor indicated. "For property loss, you have six months from the date the state of emergency was declared. For damage to health or the death of a relative, the deadline for filing an application is 12 months from the date the state of emergency was declared," the publication notes.

The application review period is 11 business days.

You can submit an application at your local social security office, through a multifunctional center, or through the Gosuslugi portal.

"The application review period is 11 business days... Specialists from city and district administrations, together with civil defense and emergency departments, are already assessing the damage. Lists of affected families will be compiled based on this data," the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection reported.

As a reminder, in September 2025, heavy rains also led to flooding of substations and power outages in Makhachkala. Food spoiled in de-energized refrigerators, and cooking became difficult in apartments with electric stoves. Makhachkala residents have the right to demand compensation for damage caused by street flooding and extended power outages, lawyers have indicated.

In the fall of 2025, Dagestan authorities promised financial assistance to Makhachkala residents whose property was damaged by flooding, but did not announce the amount of assistance. Makhachkala residents paid 28,000-30,000 rubles for the towing and repair of flooded cars, while the authorities paid only 10,000 for property damage. Lawyers noted that car owners have the right to go to court to demand compensation from the mayor's office, which failed to ensure safe traffic on the roads.
