trapped in the explosion zone or under the debris of building structures
as a result of an explosive device
If you find yourself in the explosion zone , remain conscious and able to move, then first of all, you must move to a place where there is no smoke and fire.

In case of arterial bleeding (scarlet blood, fountains), the wound must be plugged as quickly as possible with at least a finger, and then bandaged with a belt, rope, belt above the wound. If you are under the rubble of a building, try to calm down . Breathe deeply and evenly. Tune in to the rescuers to save you. Attract people's attention with your voice and thump. If you are deep under the rubble of a building, move left and right any metal object (ring, keys, etc. ) to detect you with an echo direction finder. Do not light a fire in a confined space. Conserve oxygen. Move carefully, trying not to cause a new landslide, be guided by the movement of air coming from outside. If you have the opportunity, with the help of improvised items (boards, bricks, etc.), strengthen the ceiling from collapse and wait for help. If you are thirsty, put a small pebble in your mouth and suck on it, breathing through your nose.
Memo to the population
on actions in case of being taken hostage
Each specific case of hostage taking is unique and different from others.
At the same time, if you are held hostage:
1) pull yourself together as soon as possible, calm down and do not panic;
2) if you are tied or closed your eyes, try to relax, breathe deeper;
3) prepare yourself physically, mentally and emotionally for a possible ordeal. In doing so, remember that in most cases of seizure of people, hostages survived. Rest assured that special and law enforcement agencies are already taking professional measures to secure your release;
4) do not try to escape if there is no complete confidence in the success of the escape;
5) memorize as much information as possible about the terrorists. It is advisable to establish their number, degree of armament, to compose the most complete verbal portrait, drawing attention to the characteristic features of appearance, physique, accent and topics of conversation, temperament, demeanor, etc. Detailed information will help subsequently in identifying the terrorists;
6) try to determine the place of your location (imprisonment) by various signs;
7) as far as possible, stay away from windows, doors and the kidnappers themselves, i.e. in places of greater security, if active measures are taken to release you (storming the premises, sniper fire to kill criminals, etc.);
8) in the event of an assault on a building, it is recommended to lie face down on the floor with your hands folded at the back of your head;
9) do not be indignant if, during the assault and seizure, you may at first (before establishing your identity) act somewhat incorrectly, as with a potential criminal. You can be searched, handcuffed, tied up, emotionally or physically hurt, or interrogated. Be aware that in such situations, such actions of the storming officers (until the final identification of all persons and the identification of the true criminals) are justified. Relationship with the kidnappers: 1) do not offer aggressive resistance, do not make sudden and threatening movements, do not provoke terrorists into rash actions; 2) avoid direct eye contact with the kidnappers whenever possible; 3) from the very beginning (especially the first half hour) follow all the orders and orders of the kidnappers; 4) take a position of passive cooperation. Speak in a calm voice. Avoid expressions of contempt that evoke hostile tones and behaviors that might anger invaders; 5) behave calmly, while maintaining self-esteem. Do not express categorical refusals, but do not be afraid to make calm requests for what you urgently need; 6) if you have health problems that can manifest themselves in a situation of severe stress, declare this in a calm manner to the people who have taken you over. Gradually, taking into account the evolving situation, you can increase the level of requests related to improving your comfort. When in the position of a hostage for a long time: 1) do not allow feelings of pity, confusion and confusion. Prepare yourself mentally for future challenges. Stay mentally active; 2) avoid the emergence of a feeling of despair, use for this internal resources of self-belief ; 3) think and remember pleasant things. Remember, the chances of being released increase over time. Rest assured that every effort is now being made to ensure your early release; 4) constantly find yourself something to do (exercise, reading, life memories, etc.). Set a daily schedule for physical and intellectual activity, do things in a strict methodological order; 5) to maintain strength, eat whatever you give, even if the food is not pleasant and does not cause appetite. Be aware that loss of appetite and weight are normal in this kind of extreme situation. Maintaining psychological stability is one of the most important conditions for rescuing a hostage. Any techniques and methods that distract from unpleasant sensations and experiences are good here, allowing you to maintain clarity of thoughts, an adequate assessment of the situation. It is useful to understand the following rules: 1) make available in the circumstances exercise a minimum of strain and relax cumstances should turn all the muscles of the body; 2) it is very useful in all respects to practice auto-training and meditation, they will help keep your psyche under control; 3) recall the books, poems, songs you read to yourself, sequentially ponder various abstract problems (solve math problems, remember foreign words, etc.). Your mind has to work; 4) if possible, read everything that will be at hand, even if the text is not at all interesting to you. It is also possible to write, although the written will be selected. The process itself is important, helping to keep the sanity; 5) try to treat what is happening to you as if from the outside, not taking what happened to heart, until the end hope for a successful outcome. Fear, depression and apathy are your three main enemies, they are all within you.
