Russian President Vladimir Putin has instructed the government to develop insurance protection mechanisms for residential properties against the consequences of emergencies. The Ministry of Emergency Situations (MChS) and regional executive authorities will be involved in this work.

This directive is part of a list of decisions made by the head of state, published on the official Kremlin website. The document calls for proposals aimed at creating an effective housing insurance system against damage caused by various emergencies.

The development of new mechanisms will involve relevant federal agencies and Russian regions, which will assess possible insurance protection options for citizens and determine the implementation procedures.

The government is expected to report back to the president on the results of its work by September 1, 2026.

The initiative is expected to enhance the financial security of homeowners and provide additional compensation tools in case of natural or man-made emergencies.
