Important safety advice for civilians in the event of conflict, bombing, or shelling have been shared by emergency services as tensions along the Pakistan-India border increase.
To safeguard themselves and their family, people should remain vigilant and take specific precautions. In the event of war, the recommendations are intended to prevent panic and save lives.
It is recommended that people make sure they have sufficient call and internet balances and keep their cell phones charged. To stay in touch and exchange updates, families should create WhatsApp groups.
Residents should instantly seek refuge in a nearby bunker or cellar in the event of an attack or shelling. They should remain inside, away from windows and doors, beneath a sturdy roof, if none are available.
