On March 1st, the global community observes the World Civil Defence Day, aimed at informing the public about the tasks of civil defence services and promoting their activities in protecting people, material assets, and the environment.
In Belarus, this day is traditionally dedicated to protecting children from emergencies. The issue of population protection in the event of an emergency deserves special attention, as emergencies always pose a real threat to people's lives and health. Children are particularly vulnerable in such circumstances due to a lack of specific knowledge and practical skills.
To foster a culture of life safety and conduct educational work with the younger generation on protection from natural and man-made emergencies, a preventive campaign "Safety Day. Attention All!" will be held from March 1st to March 18th, dedicated to World Civil Defence Day.
The campaign will be conducted in two stages. From March 1st to March 5th, as part of the first stage, a unified civil defence day will take place in educational institutions of Lepel district, featuring thematic "Safety Lessons" and evacuation drills.
From March 9th to March 18th, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations will actively participate in parent-teacher meetings, delivering thematic lectures on ensuring safe living. Adults will be informed about the main causes of fires, actions upon the "Attention All!" signal, and reminded about children's adherence to safety rules during the spring holidays.
