When warning sirens sound

If you are inside a building:
 

• Go immediately to a shelter or bunker or an underground parking if one is available. 

• If no shelter is available, move to the stairwell. 

• 3-story building: Go to the 2nd floor (the most stable part of the building). 

• Buildings with more than 3 floors: Do not stay on the ground floor or the top two floors. 

• Beware of shrapnel: Never stay in the entrance area of a building.

 

If you are outdoors:

​

• Enter the nearest building for protection. 

• If no building is nearby, lie flat on the ground and cover your head with your hands.

 

If you are in a vehicle:

​

• Pull over to the side of the road and stop. 

• Leave the vehicle and go to the nearest building or shelter. 

• If this is not possible, lie flat on the ground and cover your head with your hands. 

• If you cannot exit the vehicle, stop at the roadside and remain inside.

Important:
 

Remain in your protected location for at least 10 minutes after the alarm has ended.

Do not touch any ammunition, unexploded parts of weapon systems, or anything that may be part of an undetonated weapon system - especially after an alert.

 

Do not approach these items and do not take pictures. Maintain a safe distance of at least 1,000 meters.
