      Protecting yourself during shelling, drone strikes, or general wartime situations requires preparation, quick action, and awareness. Here’s a practical breakdown based on real-world conflict zone advice and survival training:

      🔹 GENERAL PRINCIPLES

      • Stay Informed: Use trusted news sources, local emergency alerts, and apps like Telegram or Signal (with relevant war channels) to get real-time updates.
      • Plan Ahead: Know the location of nearby shelters, exits, and safe zones. Have a go-bag ready.

      🔹 DURING SHELLING OR ARTILLERY STRIKES

      ▶️ If you’re indoors:

      • Go to the safest area:
        • Ideally a basement or interior room without windows.
        • Avoid upper floors, windows, and exterior walls.
      • Stay away from glass – blast waves can shatter it violently.
      • Lie down on the floor and protect your head and neck.

      💡 Tip: The corner of a load-bearing wall (e.g., stairwells) offers more protection.

      ▶️ If you’re outdoors:

      • Drop to the ground, face down, feet toward the direction of the blast.
      • Cover your head and ears with your hands.
      • Find cover quickly (ditch, trench, low wall, concrete barrier).
        • If possible, hide behind something solid like a curb, embankment, or building foundation.

      🔹 DURING DRONE STRIKES

      ▶️ Recognizing danger:

      • Buzzing or humming sound may indicate a nearby drone.
      • Whistling sound often means an incoming missile or bomb.
      • Use drone-tracking apps or community alerts if available.

      ▶️ Take cover fast:

      • Stay under solid concrete or underground (parking garages, subways, basements).
      • Don’t stay in open spaces—parks, rooftops, and open roads make you visible.
      • If driving, abandon the car and take cover away from it.

      🔹 DURING AIR RAIDS OR BOMBINGS

      • Seek official or improvised shelters (subways, basements, underground tunnels).
      • If no shelter: lie flat in a ditch, protect your head, and stay still until the bombing ends.
      • Be aware of secondary strikes—some areas are hit again shortly after first responders arrive.

      🔹 PERSONAL PREPAREDNESS KIT (“Go-Bag”)

      Pack essentials in a backpack you can grab quickly:

      • Water & food for 72 hours
      • First aid kit
      • Flashlight & batteries
      • Phone power bank
      • Copies of documents (passport, ID)
      • Cash
      • Emergency blanket
      • Respirator mask or at least N95
      • Personal hygiene items
      • Local maps, flashlight

      🔹 EXTRA TIPS FOR URBAN WAR ZONES

      • Move cautiously: Avoid running in open areas. Move from cover to cover.
      • Tape your windows in a crisscross pattern to minimize glass shatter.
      • Mark safe shelters nearby if you’re staying in a high-risk zone.
      • Avoid taking videos/photos in dangerous areas; drones and snipers target people using phones.

      🔹 AFTER A STRIKE

      • Wait before leaving shelter – there may be unexploded ordnance or follow-up strikes.
      • Avoid touching debris, strange objects, or bodies – they could be booby-trapped.
      • Check yourself and others for injuries, stop bleeding, and administer first aid.

      🔹 MENTAL & PHYSICAL ENDURANCE

      • Keep calm with breathing techniques.
      • Sleep when you can. Fatigue makes mistakes more likely.
      • Stay connected to loved ones or local communities for psychological resilience.

      If there are reports that shelling may occur in your area, find safe places in your home and village. Such as bunkers, basements, strong walls, mountains or cliffs, etc.
