Actions of the driver of the car at the air alarm in Kyiv
In the event of an alarm, while driving a car, you should take the following actions:
- Honk five long beeps, in order to notify other road users about the beginning of the alarm.
- Remain calm and do not panic. Remember that panic can lead to improper actions and jeopardize your safety. From the start of the air alert to the immediate danger, in most cases there is time to seek shelter.
- Stop your vehicle at the side of the road. Get out of the car and find the nearest shelter: these may be "points of nezlamnosti" (never give up points), bomb shelters, subway passages, subway stations, parking lots equipped for shelter. If you can't find any of these places, just lie face down on the ground and cover your head with your hands. This will help protect you from shrapnel and other debris.
- If you are in a car with children or other passengers, make sure they know what to do in the event of an air raid. Explain to them that they should perform the same actions as you.
- After the end of the air alarm has been declared, you may return to the vehicle and give three signals.
