Poland Ministry of Interior issues air attack safety instructions
The Polish Ministry of Interior and Administration has published a 12-page instruction manual detailing procedures for responding to air attack threats. Developed in cooperation with the State Fire Service, the document provides guidance for residents of apartment buildings, single-family homes, and individuals traveling in vehicles.
The instructions cover actions to take before, during, and after an alarm. Key recommendations include monitoring official communications, following service commands, and heading to designated shelters if time and safety permit. The manual also emphasizes the importance of preparing an emergency evacuation backpack in advance.
Beyond essential supplies like water, food, medicine, and documents, the government suggests including personal items such as family photographs and small keepsakes for emotional support. Additionally, the guide advises maintaining a reserve of cash in various small denominations (such as 10, 20, or 50 PLN) to ensure ability to make purchases if power outages cause payment terminals and ATMs to fail.
