Safety rules: what to take with you to a shelter during a missile threat

On Monday, October 10, Russia launched a powerful missile attack on Ukraine. Explosions were heard in Kyiv, Lviv, Khmelnytskyi, Dnipro, and other cities. In total, the enemy fired more than 80 missiles, 43 of which were shot down by Ukrainian air defense.

The missiles hit residential and critical infrastructure of our cities.

The Ministry of Reintegration urges people not to ignore air raid warnings and, upon hearing the siren, to go to the nearest bomb shelter!

We would like to remind you of the list of essentials that you should take with you to the shelter:

– money;

– warm clothes;

– power bank and flashlight;

– high-calorie food (nuts, dried fruits, cereal bars, superfoods, snacks, breads, bagels, cookies, canned food, etc;)

– water (2-3 liters per person);

– a first aid kit; for those who are constantly taking medications, have them with you;

– something to sit and sleep on: chairs, mattresses, blankets, rugs, sleeping bags;

– children should put a note in their pocket or sew a note to their clothes with the child’s and parents’ name and surname, home address, and mobile phone number/s.

Attention: Before going to the shelter, turn off the gas, electricity and water at home, close the windows and doors.
