Baku-APA. Romanian authorities on Wednesday declared a state of emergency in four more counties in anticipation of blizzards and heavy snow, APA reports quoting Xinhua.
Emergencies were declared in Ialomita, Calarasi, Constanta and Tulcea, Prime Minister Victor Ponta said after a winter task force meeting.
The state of emergency enables authorities to take any measures required to prevent and remove dangers entailed by an urgent situation.
The National Meteorology Administration earlier on Wednesday issued a code red alert for blizzard and heavy snowfall in six counties.
High winds blowing in gusts of more than 85 kmp/h, heavy snowfall and visibility close to zero are expected.
Southern and southeastern Romania has faced its worst snowstorms in recent years, after warmer-than-average conditions so far this winter.
