Drones

Drone attack

What to do during a drone attack:

HEAR THAT SOUND? YOU DON’T HAVE TIME TO THINK.
Don’t analyze it. Don’t hesitate. If you hear a low buzzing sound, act immediately.
In 30 seconds, it could be above your home or your car.
STOP FILMING — THIS ISN’T A MOVIE.
No video is worth your life. Put your phone away. Shrapnel doesn’t warn you — it kills.
MOVE AWAY FROM WINDOWS.
Glass shatters like blades. Windows are the most dangerous place to be. Move as far away as possible, ideally deeper into the building.
PUT TWO WALLS BETWEEN YOU AND THE STREET.
There should be at least two solid walls between you and the outside.
A kitchen with windows – no. A windowless bathroom – yes. A hallway – ideal.
GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR. NO TALKING. NO QUESTIONS.
Lie down and cover your head with your hands. Shrapnel travels in arcs — you must be below its path.
OUTSIDE? CROUCH LOW AND FIND CONCRETE.
Don’t hide behind a fence or bushes. Get behind a concrete wall or into any dip or ditch.
If there’s nothing — drop to the ground.
IN A CAR — BECOME INVISIBLE.
Switch off the engine, turn off the lights, and get out. Find cover: an underpass, a dip in the ground, a concrete barrier.
If there’s nothing, lie by the curb next to the car, or even under it. Light and movement help drones locate targets.
COVER YOUR EARS, OPEN YOUR MOUTH.
This helps protect you from the blast wave. A simple action that can save your hearing and reduce injury.
DON’T MOVE UNTIL IT’S BEEN QUIET FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES.
A second strike can be more dangerous. Silence after the first explosion can be a trap. Hold on. Stay still.
Go to the nearest shelter or a place of cover.
Follow the instructions of emergency services.
NOW YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
That means you’re a few steps closer to survival. Share this with those who don’t know yet.

Finding a drone

1. BE CAREFUL — DO NOT TOUCH THE DRONE.
  Do not approach, pick up, move, or tamper with any parts.
  Do not use a mobile phone or other electronic devices right next to the drone (it may trigger a detonator).
2. MOVE AWAY QUICKLY TO A SAFE DISTANCE.
  At least 100 metres in open ground. Indoors — leave the building immediately.
3. KEEP OTHERS AWAY.
  Warn neighbours, passers-by, and colleagues.
  If possible, create a temporary barrier (tape, railings, a vehicle).
4. CALL EMERGENCY SERVICES.Dial 112 and provide:
  – your name and contact number,
  – the exact location (address, landmarks),
  – a brief description (a drone or debris has been found),
  – whether there are witnesses and whether anyone is injured.
5. DO NOT GO BACK — WAIT FOR SERVICES.
  Stay at a safe distance and direct the police / fire service / military police to the location.
  Follow all instructions from officers or soldiers.
6. MONITOR YOUR HEALTH.
  If you develop unusual symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, skin irritation), inform medical services immediately.
