Since the first days of a large-scale war, Russia has been shelling Ukraine with missiles, which have harmed peaceful infrastructure and civilians.
Recently, the aggressor country, having no success at the front, resorted to massive attacks.
The number and consequences of rocket attacks on Ukrainian population centers are increasing, and therefore it is necessary not to neglect air warning signals and go down to shelter.
TSN.ua
within the framework of the implementation of the Civil Protection Program implemented by the Eastern Europe Fund in partnership with Hala Systems Inc.
funded by the European Union, has collected tips on how not to miss danger alerts and how to set up a shelter.
Airborne alarm notification and siren action algorithm
The rule of thumb these days is to always keep your alarm notifications turned on.
The system will warn you of any danger.
The algorithm of actions in the event of an air alarm is simple - go to the shelter.
For this, it is better to find shelter addresses in advance near the places where you are most often.
You can also write down the addresses of 2-3 shelters closest to you in case the first shelter you come to is full.
How to prepare a shelter
Since there is a war in Ukraine, air alert and danger can last not just one hour, but in the case of man-made disasters, several days.
This means that the shelter must be prepared for a long stay there.
Most often, people hide in the basements of houses, as this is the closest place where they can wait out the danger.
Therefore, it is important to take care of its arrangement in advance.
To do this, get together with your neighbors, check the basement of your house, clean there, stock up on food and essentials.
What should be in the shelter:
Drinking water (at the rate of 1.5-2 liters per day per person)
Warming - sleeping bags, blankets, sleeping bags and blankets
Food for long-term storage - canned goods, snacks, dried fruits
First aid kit and hygiene products
Lighting - flashlights, candles, etc
Experts also advise stocking up on everything you need at home.
The list of the minimum set of things that every Ukrainian should have includes:
Drinking water (at the rate of 1.5-2 liters per day per person) and technical water (for cooking and hygiene 10-12 liters per day per person)
