The Public Health Center of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine told what mine safety rules should be observed while relaxing in parks or in the forest.

What to do if an explosive object is found.

The following rules must be observed:.

stop, don't touch anything. Keep calm;

memorize the location of the object;

warn about the detected object of persons who are nearby;

move away yourself and take people nearby away (at least 100 m) from the found object. At the same time, it is necessary to depart along the same route (preferably trail to trail) on which you came. If a group of people leaves, then you need to move in a column one at a time and in the same way, track to track.

Report the discovery of a suspicious object to law enforcement agencies and special services by calling 101 of 102 (the message must be made without haste, clearly, indicating the exact address (landmarks) of the location of the explosive object).

If possible, before the arrival of law enforcement agencies or special services, do not allow unauthorized people into the danger zone.
