Summary
- Poland preparing 40-page "Safety guide" on coping with war, disasters
- Prime Minister Tusk warns of serious global war threat, especially due to Ukraine conflict
- Booklet to provide advice on water, air raids, blackouts, and bomb shelters
In response to growing regional instability, the Polish government is taking proactive measures to strengthen national resilience. The country is currently preparing a 40-page "Safety guide" manual that will provide citizens with detailed instructions on how to cope in the event of war or natural disaster.
The comprehensive booklet, set to be released online in September 2023, will offer advice on securing clean water, responding to air raids or blackouts, and locating bomb shelters. This marks the first public awareness campaign of its kind in Poland in decades.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has repeatedly warned in the recent past that the threat of a global war is serious and real, especially in the context of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and allegations of Russian sabotage, disinformation, and cyberattacks against the West. Russia has denied these claims.
The ministry plans to deliver printed copies of the "Safety guide" to all 14 million households in Poland, with plans to later translate it into English and Ukrainian, and produce Braille and children's versions as well.
