Russia could attack a NATO country within months, Danish intelligence warns
The new threat assessment joins a growing chorus of Russia warnings from top European security officials and lawmakers in recent days.
The Polish government has issued guidelines on how to respond to air attacks and warned of a potential threat from Russia. The interior ministry has expanded a safety handbook to provide instructions on seeking shelter during an air raid and preparing homes for such emergencies. The new guidelines advise individuals to seek shelter, take evacuation backpacks and necessary medication, and use stairs if possible.
The government has also prepared evacuation plans for schools, as some were criticized for evacuating children outside during alarms in the eastern province of Lublin. To make shelter points easier to identify, local authorities and managers of designated sites are required to mark them clearly with a blue triangle on an orange background.
Poland currently has about 85,000 shelter points, which could accommodate 23.7 million people, or 64% of the country’s population. The government is also developing a national plan to coordinate potential evacuation in case of war, a threat of war, or a natural disaster. The interior minister stated that evacuation plans are being prepared, relying heavily on the strength of the entire crisis response system.
