Recently, Russia has increased its shelling of Ukraine's critical infrastructure. As a result, many settlements throughout the country were left without electricity, water or gas. We have prepared a reminder for you on how to act in similar situations.


If there is no power supply


• Purchase candles, flashlights, matches, and an adapter for charging your phone in the car in advance.

• Charge your phone in advance, keep power banks, batteries and other batteries charged.


What to do in case of a power failure?


• Unplug all household electrical appliances.

• In the event of a break or sagging of the electric wires, do not approach them under any circumstances.

• Be especially careful when using candles and dry alcohol.


If there is no water supply


• Turn off all faucets to avoid trouble when the water supply is restored.

• Stock up on drinking water from pump stations, wells, drinking water filling points. Use it for drinking and cooking.

• Use water from open water bodies only for technical purposes.


If there is no gas


• Purchase dry alcohol, a travel burner or gas cylinders for the gas stove in advance.

• Stock up on quick-cooking and long-storage foods.

• If possible, plan the option of moving to a house with stove heating for the winter.


What to do in case of an accident on the gas network?


• Close the gas valve in your house, help your elderly neighbors to do it.

• Use braziers, stoves, and stoves for cooking in the courtyards.

• Do not use wood-burning boilers or boilers for heating apartments!


Most importantly, keep calm and take care of yourself!
