After an explosion, the greatest dangers are falling debris, broken glass, fire, gas leaks and secondary explosions. Act calmly and quickly.
Immediately
- Check yourself and the people around you for injuries
- Move away from windows, glass façades and damaged buildings
- If you are indoors and the building is damaged, leave carefully by the stairs — never use lifts
- Cover your nose and mouth if there is dust or smoke
- Do not use matches, lighters or electrical switches if you smell gas
Next
- Call 125 and give your exact location and the number of injured people
- Do not move seriously injured people unless they are in immediate danger
- Keep roads clear for emergency vehicles and do not gather near the site
- Follow instructions from the Civil Defence, the army and the security forces
- Check on neighbours, especially elderly people and people with disabilities
If you are trapped
- Stay still to avoid raising dust
- Tap on a pipe or wall, or use a whistle, so rescuers can find you
- Shout only as a last resort — it can make you breathe in dangerous dust
In any emergency, call 125 — free, from any phone, 24 hours a day.
