More than 1,100 residents of Dagestan have submitted applications for compensation for housing after the flood.

1,180 applications for compensation for damaged or completely destroyed housing due to flooding have been collected in Dagestan, with the collection of applications continuing in several districts even three months after the flood.

Residents of municipalities in Dagestan affected by flooding have submitted 1,180 applications for compensation for damaged or completely destroyed housing, and the acceptance of applications is ongoing, the press service of the Dagestan government reported today.

"Currently, work is ongoing to accept documents for the appointment of compensation for damaged or lost housing. Specialists have already accepted 1,180 applications. In the Derbent district, the main stage of document acceptance has already been completed. Work is focused in the Khassavyurt district and the city of Khassavyurt," said Dagestan Prime Minister Magomed Ramazanov at a government commission meeting on the prevention and elimination of emergency situations led by the head of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Russian Federation, Alexander Kozlov.

According to him, from July 5, the acceptance of documents will start in the Dakhadayevsky district, and by July 20 in the other municipalities, where the volume of applications is expected to be smaller.

Heavy rains that occurred on March 28 and April 4-5 led to widespread flooding in Dagestan. The authorities of the republic declared a state of emergency in Makhachkala, Khassavyurt, Buynaksk, Dagestanskie Ogni, Kaspiysk, as well as in the Derbent, Karabudakhkent, Khassavyurt, Gumbetov, Babayurt, Novolak, and Kaytag districts. Later, a federal-level state of emergency was declared in the region.

According to the latest data, 9,825 residential houses were flooded. About 8,000 houses were damaged. Six people died as a result of the flood, and more than 6,200 were injured.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that residents of Dagestan affected by the flood in March-April are still waiting for payments for lost property from the authorities in June. Only in Mamedkala, where more than 500 houses were damaged during the flood, victims had submitted more than 400 applications for payments by June 20.

Floods caused by heavy rains began in the North Caucasus at the end of March and became one of the most destructive in recent years. Dagestan and Chechnya were the most affected by the disaster, according to a report from "Caucasian Knot" "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus-2026". Materials on flooding in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District in the spring of 2026 were collected by "Caucasian Knot" on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".
