At the same time, the city's emergency response committee recommends that vehicle owners limit their movements in Odesa with their own vehicles until the situation in the city stabilizes.

"Public utilities continue to eliminate the consequences of the bad weather," the city council adds.

First of all, utilities are clearing roads, highways, and pedestrian walkways of fallen trees, as well as removing trees that obstruct access to socially important facilities.

So far, the work has been completed at 37 addresses, and work is ongoing at 33 more locations.

Emergency situations are being eliminated by specialists of the municipal enterprises Gorzelentrest, City Roads and Housing and Utility Services at their respective addresses. Utilities are cutting down and removing fallen trees, as well as cleaning the streets of debris.

On September 30, 9 people died in Odesa as a result of the bad weather, including one child. The storm caused serious damage: flooding of roads, power outages, property damage, and fallen trees.

The bodies of five people were found in Sergei Eisenstein Lane: 2 men, 2 women and a girl of about 8 years old. They are currently being identified. Rescuers do not have access to the bodies as the water is being pumped out. Two more bodies were found on Balkivska Street: an unidentified woman aged 55-65 and a local resident born in 1987. The body of another woman born in 1968 was found on Dacha Kovalevskoho Street. Cases of hypothermia due to prolonged exposure to water have also been reported. The victims are being provided with the necessary medical care.

Meanwhile, the mayor's office published a video reporting that almost two months' worth of precipitation fell in Odesa in 7 hours.
