Missile danger declared in Tambov region

From 21:52 Wednesday, October 14, in the Tambov region introduced a regime of missile danger. That means there is a real threat.

If you are at home, the most important thing is to get out of the zone of possible damage by shrapnel and shock wave, because windows and external walls are the most dangerous places. Go to a room without windows - a corridor, bathroom, toilet or pantry will suit: there are no glass in such spaces, and the walls are most often load-bearing, that is, more durable. Take a safe position - sit on the floor near the supporting wall: this position reduces the risk of injuries from collapse of structures and protects against flying objects. Stay away from windows, balconies, and exterior walls, even if everything seems quiet.

Do not use the elevator – if necessary, use only flights of stairs, because the elevator can get stuck due to a power outage or damage to the mine. Stay where you are until the official “Define Missile Danger” signal: Do not go outside and do not return to normal activities ahead of time.

If you find yourself on the street, the risk of injury is much higher, so the main task is to find shelter as soon as possible. Find the nearest capital building - it can be a residential building, a store, an administrative structure - any building with strong walls. The underground spaces are well suited: an underground passage, parking or ground floor, because the ground and concrete give good protection. Avoid places with a lot of glazing: shopping centers with panoramic windows, stops with transparent walls, glass facades are unsafe, because with a shock wave, fragments become dangerous shells. Do not try to leave by car: in a panic, it is easy to get into a traffic jam or accident, it is better to take shelter in place. As soon as you are in shelter, stay there until the signal "End Missile Danger".

Until the threat is officially lifted, any return to normal life is premature.
