Residents of Chechnya reported on the consequences of the flood.
The floodwaters in Chechnya have already receded, and people are rebuilding their homes with the help of fellow villagers and authorities, local residents said.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," authorities are quickly organizing repairs to flood-damaged roads and bridges in Chechnya, but many residents are forced to deal with the aftermath of flooded homes and private property themselves, as processing compensation takes considerable time.
In the North Caucasus, floods caused by torrential rains have been ongoing since late March, and they have become some of the most devastating in recent years. In Dagestan, seven people died as a result of the flooding. By April 6, Chechen authorities had recognized at least 127 families affected by the flood as needing new housing.
Ilyas, a resident of a village in the Shatoi District who suffered damage from the flood, told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent today that he had not even contacted the authorities.
"We haven't contacted the authorities. We'll handle it ourselves and repair it," he explained. He added that, in his opinion, all institutions and services in the district are currently operating normally, and the water has already receded.
On April 3, Ilyas told "Caucasian Knot" that the flood damaged his grandmother's house. According to him, the roads were generally clear, and there were no supply problems.
There are only a few cracks in the roads, and the ground has receded.
Yusuf, a resident of the Kurchaloevsky District, also reported that the water had already receded, and the flooding had subsided. "It's already over everywhere. We don't have problems like those in Dagestan in the villages... It seems to be fine. There are only a few cracks in the roads, and the ground has receded, leaving traces of the flood," he told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
Yusuf had previously reported that his house had been seriously damaged by the flooding. "The cracks are large, literally the house is collapsing. It's such a disaster. I'm already receiving assistance with repairs," he said on April 3.
According to Yusuf, the authorities are providing assistance to the victims. "They're helping, and people themselves are helping a lot, there's a lot of charity. But the authorities are also helping... Everything is being done without panic," he said.
He noted that lists are also being compiled for relocation to new homes. "It all depends on the severity of the damage. In my case, they can help with house restoration. Someone's yard is collapsing, along with the fences, but the house is still standing. A technical assessment is still underway, they're looking at what, how, and what condition it's in," Yusuf explained.
According to him, "washed-out roads are being repaired quickly." "Graders and excavators immediately filled in, leveled, and compacted the dangerous sections of the road where it was washed away. Schools, kindergartens, and hospitals are operating normally," Yusuf said.
According to the Caucasian Knot weather service, today in Kurchaloy there will be partly cloudy skies with no precipitation. No rain is expected tonight or on April 8th. The weather service is a partnership between Caucasian Knot and Gismeteo. The service allows you to correct meteorological data for a more accurate forecast. The service is also available in a light version and in the Caucasian Knot apps for Android and AndroidGO.
A resident of the Nozhai-Yurtovsky district, Abdullah, reported that "the water has receded from his house and there is no danger yet."
According to Abdullah, local officials are trying very hard to avoid falling out of favor with senior management, so they consider appeals and act proactively.
"If local officials do not "If they react, their heads might fly off, so they're basically trying. I don't know why this is happening in Dagestan; maybe it was the rains there that were heavier, but we don't have any chaos," he told a "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most from the disaster, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026".
A "Caucasian Knot" reader with the nickname maricela.flatley reported today that his relatives' house in the Gudermes district was flooded. "In the rooms, the water, as they say, reached knee-deep, all the household furniture and appliances were in disrepair. Water was pumped out of the rooms using motors provided by a relative and a friend. […] They have not yet received assistance from the authorities. They are waiting for the arrival of a commission that should determine the extent of the damage caused by the disaster in order to then receive compensation. Many victims say that in eliminating the consequences of the recent flooding and landslides, they have to rely more on their own efforts and the help of relatives, fellow villagers and friends," he wrote in his comment.
The "Caucasian Knot" has collected materials about flooding in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District in the spring of 2026 on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".
