What do you need to remember when you are in a shelter?
Before going to the shelter, turn off the gas, electricity and water at home, close the windows and ventilation holes.

• flammable substances;
• substances with a strong smell;

• Try to arbitrarily turn on or turn off equipment located in shelters;
• Open hermetic protective doors;
• Make noise;
• To smoke;
• Light an open fire.
When to leave the shelter?
You should leave the shelter only after the air alarm signal is sounded or in the event of an emergency condition of the room - due to a fire with a high concentration of harmful gases and lack of air
Evacuation from the shelter takes place through backup exits in case of blocking of the main one.
What to do if the shelter is damaged or collapsed?
In order to unlock the exit, do not wait for help from the outside. Instead, engage the people inside to unblock the exit if necessary.
What shelters can be used:
• Specially equipped bomb shelters — they differ from ordinary basements by a thick, reliable ceiling overhead, a ventilation system, and the presence of two or more exits to the surface;
• Underground passages;
