WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A RADIATION ACCIDENT?

If there is a radiation emergency in your area, you need to stay indoors or go in immediately if you are outdoors. This is the safest thing you can do.

Go to a shelter, basement or in the middle of a building. Radioactive material settles on the outside of buildings, so it is best to stay as far away from the walls and roof of the building as possible.
Take pets inside.
Close and lock all windows and doors in the room.
Follow the reports from rescuers of the SES, police and local authorities.

Remove the top layer of clothing. This way you will get rid of up to 90% of the radioactive material. Do this carefully so as not to shake off the radioactive dust. Place clothes in a plastic bag or airtight container and keep them away from people and pets.
Wash yourself. If possible, take a shower with soap, wash your head with shampoo. Do not use hair conditioners as they can fix the radioactive material on your hair. Do not rub or scratch the skin to prevent radioactive material from entering open wounds. If you can’t take a shower, wash your hands, face and exposed parts with soap under running water. If you do not have access to water, use wet wipes, damp cloth. Pay special attention to your hands and face, wipe eyelids, eyelashes, ears.
Put on clean clothes.
Help your family and friends to make all the above points. If possible, do this in gloves and a mask or respirator.

Food and Drinking Water Safety in a Radiation Emergency 

Food from airtight containers (cans, jars, bottles, boxes, etc.) is safe.

Food stored in the refrigerator or freezer is also safe. Wipe food containers with a damp cloth or clean towel before opening. Wipe kitchen utensils with a damp cloth or clean towel before use. Put a used cloth or towel in a plastic bag or airtight container and leave it out of reach of people and animals.

Pet food safety

Just like human food, pet food in airtight containers (cans, jars, bottles, boxes, etc.) will be safe to eat. Wipe pet bowls and mats with a damp cloth or towel. Put a used cloth or towel in a plastic bag or airtight container and leave it out of reach of people and animals.

Water safety

As long as rescuers or the authorities do not report the safety of tap water, only bottled water will remain unpolluted. The packaging protects the liquid inside from radioactive substances.

Boiling tap water does not get rid of radioactive substances. So keep water in bottles or other airtight containers. Drinks in the refrigerator are also safe to drink.

Water in other containers in your home, such as a toilet or water heater, will not contain radioactive substances.

Tap or well water can be used to wash yourself and food and water packaging.

Even if tap water is contaminated, you can still use it for disinfection. Any radioactive material that enters surface or groundwater will be diluted with water to a very low level and will be safe for washing skin, hair and clothing.

not to be in low-lying areas – valleys, ravines, etc .;
not to stay long in basements and semi-basements;
try to be on the rise;
follow the direction of the wind.

In case of a complicated situation (when the wind direction changes), determine the route of exit from the zone of potential chemical danger (exit to the side perpendicular to the wind direction) and leave this zone as soon as possible.

With a favorable change in wind after leaving the area of ​​contamination or receiving a signal of the end of chemical danger:

open windows and doors, ventilate the room;
