To draw attention to the problem of children’s mischief with fire and child fatalities in fires, reduce the number of emergencies involving children, and ensure their overall safety (at home, outdoors, during recreation, near water bodies, etc.), a preventive campaign "Do Not Leave Children Unattended!" will be launched in the Lepel district, as well as in all regional and district centers, from May 15 to June 1, timed to coincide with Children's Day.
The campaign will take place in crowded places where parents relax with their children. "Photo zones" and "Learning Safety Rules Together" play areas will be organized here, where parents and children can participate in contests, quizzes, and games.
In healthcare facilities (healthy child clinics, women's clinics, maternity schools), rescuers will conduct sessions with young mothers.
In educational institutions, parent-teacher meetings will be held with the participation of the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) staff on the topic "Preventing Child Injuries – Teaching Children Safety Rules!".
Preventive measures will also be carried out in large families, family-type orphanages, and families with children under state care.
The campaign will conclude on June 1, International Children's Day, which is traditionally organized on Freedom Square in the town of Lepel. The event will feature thematic contests, games, concert programs, and creative performances, educational and play areas, and a demonstration of emergency rescue equipment and machinery.
Rescuers invite all parents to take care of their children's safety and participate in the campaign! Follow the progress of the campaign events in our region on the Vitebsk Regional Department page of the Belarusian MES website 112.by and in the official VKontakte group of the Vitebsk Regional MES.
