In this regard, the Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the RT made recommendations to the population.
When blizzards and snow drifts prepare comfortable and tightly closed shoes. Move carefully, without haste, step on the entire sole, given the unevenness of the surface. Elderly people are encouraged to use a cane with a rubber tip or a special stick with pointed spikes. If you slipped, sit down to lower the height of the fall.
Fans of outdoor activities are advised to have intact communication devices, navigation devices. When visibility deteriorates, measures should be taken in order not to lose orientation.
In addition, rescuers warn about the danger of similar avalanches in the ravines and on the hills, and they strongly ask not to leave children without adult supervision, to be careful while moving over the snow and to exclude the steep ravines and hills from the route.

The incident happened in a ravine at the end of Pushkin Street in the village of Danaurovka, Chistopolsky District.
Snowstorm and snow drifts pose a serious danger to all road users.

When braking, repeatedly press the brake pedal, thereby giving signal warning drivers of vehicles who are moving behind you. It is necessary to pay attention to the technical condition of the car, especially the brake system, and the condition of the tires. All optics must be in working condition. At stops use high visibility reflective vest. If possible, refuse to travel long distances.
