Rescuers draw attention to the fact that clearing snow from building roofs and adjacent territories is the responsibility of the owners and proprietors of buildings, as well as the heads of management organisations, enterprises, and institutions responsible for the maintenance of buildings.
As for private citizens, they are advised to report the threat of snow and ice falling from the roofs of apartment buildings to their housing and communal services.
Furthermore, rescuers recommend trying not to approach the walls of buildings and structures too closely and observing safety rules as carefully as possible. In particular, avoid downpipes, as this is where icicles are most common. If you suddenly hear a suspicious sound from above, do not stop under any circumstances and do not look up to see what has happened. It is better to press yourself against the wall quickly; then you can take shelter under the building's canopy.
