In response to the increasing number of air raid alerts, we remind you how to act during yellow and red alert levels: 1. Pay attention to the importance of alerts received on your phone (“YELLOW” generally means a threat is likely but not yet occurring; “RED” means seek shelter immediately).   Upon receiving a notification instructing you to take shelter [red alert level], immediately move to the safest areas around your living place or within University buildings (in all campuses/buildings): basements, semi-basement premises, windowless rooms with solid double walls, lower stairwell floors, corridors between lecture halls, offices, or dormitory rooms – as far away from windows and doors as possible. Here you can find map of evacuation points in Lithuania and other useful information.     Turn on LRT Radio live broadcasts and follow the apps: 72.lt and the Vilnius app “Kovas”. Check notifications on your mobile phone. 2. If  you can't reach the nearest designated wartime shelter within a few minutes, use the safest available room in the current building (a basement, semi-basement room, or another windowless room with solid walls and ceilings).  If the shelter is reachable quickly, get dressed and proceed there immediately. Bring documents, money, non-perishable food, drinking water, personal protective equipment if available, essential medication, toiletries, a portable radio with spare batteries, and a mobile phone capable of sending and receiving messages. 3. Do not panic. Stay calm, avoid unnecessary stress, focus, and compose yourself. Warn your relatives and neighbors.  Avoid making unnecessary phone calls to relatives, friends, or acquaintances using mobile or landline phones so communication lines are not overloaded or blocked. Call only to report urgent assistance needs, injuries, or unexpected danger. 4. It is not recommended to go outside. Do not leave your home/workplace without a serious reason, and avoid walking in streets or open areas. 5. If you remain at home, take protective measures: switch off lights, close curtains, tape windows if possible, bring pets indoors, and stay in a windowless room (if available) or shelter in a basement or other protected area. If hiding in a basement, inform neighbors or friends so rescuers can locate you in case of collapse.  If instructed to evacuate or leave, switch off electricity, shut off gas and water valves, close windows and shutters, lock doors, and complete all usual preparations you would make before leaving for several days. 6. If the civil safety signal “Air Raid Alert” catches you on the street or elsewhere, seek shelter immediately (a ditch, trench, underground pedestrian crossing, tunnel, basement, etc.). 7. If you are driving, stop in a safe place where you are protected from above (for example, under a bridge or roof) and remain in your vehicle.In a car, turn on the radio and follow official announcements and recommendations. We ask all department heads to remind their teams of emergency procedures and to set a proper example by responding quickly.   Lecturers conducting classes must also react promptly and guide students to a safe location. We are attaching the Emergency Situation in University Management Plan (in Lithuanian language). You can find it here: Emergency Situation Management Plan If you notice a suspicious or unidentified drone: Do not approach fallen or spotted drones – they may be dangerous. Do not attempt to catch or destroy the drone. Observe the drone’s direction and movement from a safe distance. If possible, record information discreetly and report it by calling 112. Do not share recorded footage on social media – this could assist the enemy. Follow instructions from responsible authorities and monitor official announcements. Protect children, seniors, and animals – help them reach a safe place. Close doors and windows to reduce the risk of injury from shrapnel or shockwaves. Keep an emergency kit ready (water, first aid supplies, documents) in case of a prolonged situation. Inform people nearby about the danger posed by the drone. More information is available at 72.lt.
