The Ministry of Emergency Situations is working to ensure that everything is in place in case of emergency. It pointed out that the security forces, the President and the government are doing everything possible to prevent the armed conflict in the country. Nevertheless, there is an understanding that a situation may arise where it is necessary to act promptly.
"This is a set of protective measures, primarily to protect our population. I would divide them into several stages. The most important one is notification. Today one of the elements of notification we use in practice, we notify our population about various kinds of threats, emergencies, messages sent by cell phones," said minister Sinyavsky on air of the ONT TV channel.
"There are more than 5,000 different closed structures in the country, which can be used to shelter the population in case of, among other things, missile attacks. In that regard, we're talking about making an operational alert and letting people know where, when, in what region you can go down to shelters to be protected from those things," the minister added.
In addition, the issue of evacuation of the population is considered in an emergency situation, there are also trainings on this point. Sinyavsky says that the first danger, if necessary, can be met in the basement of the house, subway, underpass, if a person does not know where there is a prepared bomb shelter.
Also, every industrial enterprise has appropriate closed structures. As for the Ministry of Emergency Situations, in case of a conflict, it will act as well as the army to protect the population of the republic. Rescuers are allocated weapons, they are placed in the rooms for the storage of weapons of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
"In some units, which are deployed in different regions of our country, where they are small, we placed weapons in the rooms for the storage of weapons of the Internal Ministry. The calculation has been made, training of personnel."
