If a basement is not available, the <strong>ground floor<\/strong> is the next safest location.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf someone is living in a double-storey or three-storey house, they should immediately shift to the basement or the ground floor to remain safe,\u201d said a Civil Defence representative.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>2. <strong>Window Hazards and Mitigation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Participants were warned against staying in rooms with windows during drone strikes or shelling. In cases where rooms with windows cannot be avoided, residents should <strong>fortify windows using sandbags or thick bedding materials<\/strong>, such as mattresses.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cDo not go into rooms that have windows,\u201d emphasized the officer. \u201cIf there is no option, cover windows with whatever thick material is available to reduce danger.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>3. <strong>Blackout Procedures &amp; Drone Threats<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The campaign shed light on the strategic importance of <strong>blackouts<\/strong> during drone activity. Drones equipped with light sensors can target illuminated areas. Therefore, turning off all lights is critical during alerts.<\/p>\n<p>To simulate a real-life scenario, a <strong>15-minute blackout drill was conducted<\/strong>, beginning at <strong>8:00 PM<\/strong>, a time chosen deliberately to emphasize night-time vulnerability. Residents were shown how to swiftly darken their homes and surroundings in response to alerts.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe sensor in a drone directly attacks where the light is on,\u201d explained a Civil Defence instructor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>4. <strong>Responding to Emergency Sirens<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Detailed instructions were provided for various real-life scenarios:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If indoors:<\/strong> Move quickly to the safest enclosed area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If driving:<\/strong> Pull over to the side of the road, <strong>turn off the vehicle lights<\/strong>, and seek cover.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Empowering the Community for Resilience<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This awareness campaign was not just a formality\u2014it was a <strong>comprehensive training and empowerment exercise<\/strong>. Through clear communication and active participation, local citizens were taught how to protect themselves and help others in crisis situations.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe administration played a very good role in making people aware,\u201d said a local participant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe purpose of today\u2019s mock drill by Civil Defence was to instil awareness in people on how to protect themselves and society if such circumstances arise,\u201d added another official.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rajouri, Jammu &amp; Kashmir \u2013 In a decisive step to enhance civilian preparedness in vulnerable regions, the Civil Defence Department of Jammu &amp; Kashmir, in coordination with the local administration, launched a robust wartime awareness campaign and mock drill.
