What To Do After Listening To Air Raid Sirens?
Khushboo Patani began her video by explaining how one should act upon hearing the air raid sirens. She mentioned that one must act immediately upon hearing such sirens and try to find a spot which can act like a bunker. She mentioned that people who are at their homes during such air raids must hide themselves on the ground floor or in basements. She also stated that underground parking places should be used during such times because they act as a bunker.
However, if you are outdoor when air sirens are used, one must evacuate buildings and look for open places or ground. She also suggested that people should lie on the ground to get minimum impact of the air waves at such a time.
What Are Blackout Drills? How Should One Act?
Disha Patani's sister also explained that in blackout drills, people must switch off all lights in their houses and cover their windows. She mentioned that such blackout drills were also used during the 1965 Indo-Pakistan war.
Khushboo also suggested that people keep small torches during such blackout raids. She mentioned that even though cell phone flashlights can also be used, they only drain the battery of the mobile phone.
How Should One Evacuate?
Khushboo further mentioned that people should evacuate their homes only when authorities ask them to do so. However, she shared that one must prepare oneself for the same. She asked everyone to keep a small bag ready in which they should keep all their essentials, including a water bottle, cash, debit/credit cards, food items, important documents, first aid kits and battery bank, among other things.
Khushboo also shared that children should be advised to listen to elders and urged everyone to stay together during this time.
