Emergencies happen even in peacetime. Fires, floods, industrial disasters are not so rare. It is not always possible to prevent them. Rescue of residents is carried out by the Ministry of Emergencies intended for this service. The measures will be more effective if the population in time finds out about the danger that threatens them and receives information on how to act in the situation that has arisen.
You will need
- - television studio;
- - edition of the radio;

Instruction manual
1
The equipment for mass public warning is regarded by many as a relic of the past. But this is far from the case. Such systems have been preserved in many settlements. Where there is an increased risk of a man-made disaster, for example, in settlements near nuclear facilities, the work of such systems is constantly supported by specialists of the Ministry of Emergencies.
2
Compose a message that you want to convey to all residents. It should be short and clear, it should contain a concrete indication of the nature of the danger. Indicate what residents should do, as well as routes and assembly points for possible evacuation. If necessary, use signals intended for different types of danger. Write such a text so that it is equally well suited for reading on radio or television, and for quick posting on forums and social networks, as well as for SMS. Two options can be made by slightly reducing the one designed for mobile operators.
3
Create a newsletter. Enter the addresses of all the media in the email address bar and send them messages with the text you wrote. In the letter, you can ask to help you spread the word on forums and social networks.
4
Arrange with local representative offices of mobile operators and send them a message by e-mail or by mobile phone. They, in turn, will notify all their customers within a few minutes.
5
Perform on local radio and television. You can immediately record for all media. It will take much less time than if you go around all the studios. In an emergency, even an amateur camera will do for shooting. It is better if the head of the local department of the Ministry of Emergencies or the head of the municipality makes a statement.
note
If there is some time to prepare for danger, give information to the newspapers. In an emergency, they will not especially help you, because typesetting and printing in a printing house takes quite a long time. But if, for example, you need to notify citizens about the upcoming high flood or the beginning of the fire hazard season, do not neglect this possibility. Among other things, the newspaper allows you to explain in more detail to the population what exactly needs to be done and why. The text may be more voluminous and detailed than for radio. Use also electronic media.
Useful advice
A relatively distant danger can be warned by residents with the help of leaflets or announcements at the porches. Despite the fact that such notifications have become familiar and it is for this reason that not everyone reads them, some still consider it necessary to view what is written in them.
