The Ministry of Interior, Fire and Local Governments conduct peculiar alarm consequence trainings in Podkarpackie and Lublin Voivodeships on September 19. Residents can learn from 11.00-14.00 how to search refuge and read RCB alerts. This is simply a essential consequence to Russian attacks close the Polish border.
Border alarm training
The Ministry of Interior and Administration launched the action jointly with the State Fire Service, Volunteer Fire Service and Local Governments. As shown by Communication from the Podkarpackie Provincial Office, residents can come to the designated stations and firehouse on 19 September between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. The Podkarpacie itself indicated 21 units of PSP, including in Rzeszów, Przemyśl, Krosno, Sanoku, Mielec and Steel Wola.
Training is simply a reaction to the increasing scale of Russian air strikes on the western part of Ukraine. erstwhile targets are located close Poland, the hazard of breaching our airspace by drones, rockets or their remains increases. A fresh Russian attack at Dorohusk showed that alarms, piloting of aviation and warnings to the population are no longer an abstract script from staff maps.
What the residents practice with firefighters
The programme is practical. Firefighters shall explain the importance of fresh RCB alerts on air threats, the rules for the consequence to sirens and the way in which safe rooms are chosen. Residents besides learn where to look for a cover outside, how to usage the “Where to Hide” application, and why the household should establish a common action plan in advance.
It's basic, but it's up to them to order in the first minutes of danger. A call with an alert is not adequate if a citizen does not realize the message, the school does not have a clear procedure and the office directs people to a random place. The state is liable for defending the sky, but the country's resilience is besides built at home, school, workplace and municipality.
The RCB alert is intended to indicate a circumstantial reaction
The Ministry of abroad Affairs modified the RCB alert system. Depending on the scale of the threat, border residents may receive further messages: about the Russian attack on Ukraine, about the massive impact on its western part or about the immediate threat to the territory of Poland. The content of the message is to indicate whether further information should be followed, or whether to find a safe place immediately.
The hotel is besides working on Cell Broadcast technology, which allows you to send warnings straight to phones located in a circumstantial area. By the end of 2026, an application with alert notifications is to be launched. Before nationwide exercises in 1400 points showed large interest in social consequence science.
Security of Poles requires habits
For years civilian defence has been treated as an administrative addition. The war behind the east border brutally recalled that efficient alerting, accessible shelters and trained procedures are part of the state's sovereignty. The acquisition of arms is essential but will not replace the preparation of the population.
For inhabitants of Podkarpacie and Lublin, the rate is peculiarly specific. This is about the right decision in the first minutes of the alarm, protecting children and avoiding chaos. Russia besides tests the resilience of states with fear and pressure. Poland must respond with calmness, discipline and preparation, not with improvisation.
