The Ministry of Emergency Situations reminds: "Safety is above all!"
The Ministry of Emergency Situations warns to be especially careful in the autumn period. There are many risks that many people don't even think about. Follow simple safety precautions in all places:
- At home. As soon as it starts to get cold outside, many people will start using the heater, and someone will start lighting the stove. But both with the stove and with electrical appliances, you need to be very careful to prevent a fire.
- In the forest. Is it possible not to go for mushrooms at least once a season? In autumn, the forest lures to go to it with a basket. But it is important to take into account the weather conditions, do not forget about the rules of fire safety in the forest and, of course, remember how to behave so as not to get lost! Be sure to walk in groups and do not turn off the GPS signal.
- On the road. The first days of autumn are not much different from summer, but there are showers, fogs, the first ice and sleet ahead. Motorists always need to be attentive to weather forecasts and, given the situation on the road, always follow the rules of safe driving.
- On the water. At first, the water is the same as it was in August, and then, without waiting for winter, the first ice begins to appear on the reservoirs. And before that, fishermen actively go after the catch, where knowledge of safety rules is also very important!
- On the street. Cold, wind, fog, the first snow - what does autumn not prepare for us! Bad weather can take you by surprise, so knowledge of safety rules is always useful here. Do not leave the house in a storm, and if you find yourself outside, avoid trees, billboards and tall buildings.
Be careful and take care of yourself!
