\n What is shelter? <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

The simplest shelters<\/b>\u00a0are basements and semi-basements, underground parking lots, and underpasses. They can hide during short shelling. The safest of them are those with several exits (one of them outside the house).<\/p>\n

Such premises are usually used as shops, gyms, warehouses, etc. Owners need to be aware of emergency appointments and be prepared to give people access if necessary. We recommend that you arrange contact with the owners in advance (get phone numbers). Residents of cities with subways can also hide on station platforms or underpasses.<\/p>\n

Please note that\u00a0the subway<\/b>\u00a0will primarily operate as public transport to get people to a safe place in the event of an emergency. Therefore, if you go to the station, do not expect to stay there: you may be transported to another place.<\/p>\n

The shelter<\/b>\u00a0is a sealed structure for an extended stay of people in case of emergency.<\/p>\n

To find such premises look for \u201cShelter\u201d or \u201cCivil Protection Object\u201d signs. There must also be a telephone number of the person who will open the shelter door in case of danger. If not, contact your local authority for information.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
