Shelters
In the event of an air raid, get to a shelter or other protected area immediately. Choose the nearest one.
Take your radio and mobile phone with you. Basements and underground garages offer protection in the event of an air raid. A tunnel or a wall will also give you some protection. It is better to be indoors than outdoors, preferably in a room without windows.
