The UNICEF team in Ukraine and the State Emergency Service of Ukraine gave some tips on how to handle the situation.

If there’s a special shelter nearby, that’s the best place to go. If not, you can use underground passages and parking lots, subway stations, basements, or the basements of buildings.

If you hear nearby explosions and there’s no shelter in sight, get down on the ground as fast as you can and take cover in a depression in the ground. A ledge, curb, or ditch will also work.

If you’re with a child, put them in the depression first and then cover them with your own body.

Find a safe spot. Lie face down, cross your legs, cover your head with your hands, close your eyes, and open your mouth. This will protect you from getting hurt in the event of a close shell explosion.

Don’t look up unless you have to.

If you are on a bus, trolley, or tram, stop the vehicle, get away from the road, buildings, and structures, and lie down on the ground.
