Poland has published instructions for air raid alerts: how residents should act

In Poland, some residents ignored air raid signals that occurred in the Lublin Voivodeship on September 13. This triggered a sharp reaction in government circles. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Government Security Center decided to publish detailed instructions for the population.

According to glavcom.ua: Signals of a threat of an airstrike were sent to residents of the region after Russian drones violated Polish airspace on September 10. Although sirens were heard in the towns of Chelm and Swidnik, it is noted that 'the reaction of people was almost absent'.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Fire Service reminded about the rules of conduct in case of emergency situations. In case of an alert, it is important to remain calm and listen to the instructions of emergency services, turn on local radio or television, ensure that loved ones are safe, and prepare an 'evacuation backpack'. An official alert announcement is accompanied by a specific siren sound. After Russian drones violated Polish airspace, the foreign minister proposed intercepting them by NATO in the airspace of Ukraine and controlling the entry of Russian vessels into the Baltic Sea. In Poland, residents react to violations of airspace by Russian drones, while the government takes measures to ensure the safety of the population and control the events in the region.
