Public Security Directorate Issues Safety Guidelines on Sirens, Unidentified Objects

Alanbatnews -

The Public Security Directorate has issued a set of crucial safety guidelines for citizens, addressing procedures to follow upon hearing warning sirens and encountering unidentified or explosive objects.

These instructions come amid escalating regional tensions and potential military threats, emphasizing the importance of public awareness and adherence to safety protocols.

Specifically, the directorate clarified that sirens will be activated as needed, with any modifications to the timing of siren activations to be announced promptly.

The meaning of the sirens is as follows: three intermittent blasts signal a threat, while a single, continuous blast indicates that the threat has passed.

In the event of hearing three intermittent siren blasts, individuals are advised to remain where they are and avoid unnecessary movement. If outside, they should seek shelter in the nearest building until the all-clear signal is given.

The Public Security Directorate also stressed the importance of staying away from windows and exposed areas, seeking proximity to concrete stairwells whenever possible.

Regarding unidentified or potentially explosive objects, the directorate urged the public to refrain from approaching any strange, suspicious, or fallen object. People should maximize the distance between themselves and any such object, avoiding any handling due to the potential presence of highly dangerous explosive materials.

Furthermore, the directorate cautioned against gathering near such objects, emphasizing the need to allow specialized teams to handle the situation without obstruction.

Under no circumstances should anyone touch, move, or attempt to open an object of unknown origin or appearance, as it should be treated as a real and immediate danger.

The Public Security Directorate called on citizens to immediately report any sightings of fallen objects, drones, or missiles, as well as any injuries or damage, via the unified emergency number (911).

The directorate also highlighted the critical need to educate family members, especially children, about the dangers of approaching or tampering with any unfamiliar objects, emphasizing the importance of immediate reporting.

Finally, the Public Security Directorate urged the public to avoid circulating rumors or sharing unverified photos and videos on social media, stressing the importance of obtaining information solely from official and trusted sources.

The Public Security Directorate reiterated that adhering to these guidelines contributes significantly to protecting lives and property, enabling specialized agencies to perform their duties efficiently and rapidly.
