Due to the military invasion of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, hostilities continue, and enemy missile strikes damage residential buildings and critical infrastructure. If there is no way to go to a bomb shelter, it is important to know where to hide when you stay at home.. Design engineer Dmitry Makagon told the NV publication about the safest places in the apartment, depending on the type of house in which it is located.

Where can you hide from shelling in a panel house apartment.

Panel houses are considered unsafe shelters. Residents in their apartments need to determine conditionally safe places - they can be internal load-bearing panels, ideally with a door, or an opening with an entrance door to the apartment. They are thicker than ordinary partitions and allow you to hide from folding structures..

Where to find a safe place in the apartment of a monolithic-frame house.

Macagon noted that these structures usually have a lot of stiffeners, such as elevator shafts or stairwells..

“There is such a thing as a smoke-free staircase - that is, not the one with an external gallery, but located in the middle house and classified as H4. This is a concrete well without a window.. It is the safest place in case of unexpected shelling: you can quickly get there directly from the apartment, according to the norms, there is an evacuation exit and an appropriate air supply,” he said..

If your monolithic-frame house does not have such a well, as a rule, it is present in houses with more than nine floors, go out into the common corridors where there are no windows.

How best to hide from shelling in a brick house apartment or in a private house.



In a brick house, you must follow the rules of two walls. The expert noted that due to the shaky hollow floors characteristic of these types of houses, it is safest to be in doorways..

In the private sector, you can feel quite safe in an underground cellar or underground garage, provided that they are constantly supplied with air and there is an additional exit.

Earlier, the Ministry of Reintegration reminded how to behave during an air raid warning.
