All victims of flooding in Dagestan have left temporary accommodation points.

66 people who were in temporary accommodation centers after the flooding in Dagestan have returned to their homes.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," Dagestan authorities have paid financial assistance to 20,800 applications from flood victims; in five affected districts, not a single resident has yet received payments. As of May 4, 340 people remained in temporary accommodation centers.

The 66 people remaining at temporary accommodation centers (TACs) deployed in Dagestan after flooding due to heavy rains have left; Work to assess the damage caused by the storm in the republic continues, Interfax reports.

"In Dagestan, all 66 people, including 17 children, have returned home from two temporary accommodation centers. (...) Assessment commissions continue to inspect homes to determine the extent of the damage. Over the past week, 90 of the 4,500 homes in the Republic of Dagestan have been inspected," the agency reports, citing a statement from the Russian government.

During the latest meeting of the government commission for the coordination of flood prevention and response in the Republic of Dagestan and the Chechen Republic, chaired by Russian Emergencies Minister Alexander Kurenkov, it was announced that the Dagestan government has organized the clearing of under-bridge spaces to allow the free passage of floodwaters. The work carried out in the republic should minimize the risk of flooding during the severe weather expected in the region from May 15 to 17.

Floods caused by heavy rains began in the North Caucasus in late March and have become some of the most destructive in recent years. Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026".

Residents of Chechnya have submitted more than 29,000 claims to the authorities for compensation due to flood damage. According to them, in Chechnya, documents for compensation payments are collected without unnecessary formalities; often, photographs of damaged houses are sufficient. In turn, residents of Dagestan affected by the flood have repeatedlycomplained about refusals of payments. For example, in the Turali microdistrict of Makhachkala, flooding damaged floors and household appliances, and residents were denied payments, local residents complained.
