Ukraine is introducing a street-level hazard warning system.
3 21714
Due to the intensification of Russian attacks, Ukraine is implementing a street-level threat warning system. This level of detail should more accurately inform people of threats.
This was reported by the head of the Kharkiv regional administration, controlled by Kyiv, Oleg Sinegubov.
He explained that the initiative for this innovation came from gas station chain owners. They note that in some areas of the region, gas stations are unable to operate due to the air raid sirens operating almost around the clock.
Therefore, they decided to issue an alert not for the entire district, but for a specific area where an attack is expected. They plan to send alerts via messages sent to smartphones. Initially, they plan to send them to gas station and utility workers.
Sinegubov explained:
What they lack is that there are reports about a specific area.
Relying solely on these often leaves no time to fulfill their responsibilities, which is why the work of some agencies is completely paralyzed. For example, the air raid alert in Kharkiv is in effect almost continuously.
Reports of changes to the warning system are also coming from other regions under Kyiv's control. For example, in Zaporizhzhia, it is now targeted. If there is a threat of an air strike in a specific area, residents are advised over the loudspeaker to leave the street and seek shelter in a relatively safe location. This measure does not replace the standard air raid warning, but rather serves as a supplement to it.
