Instructions

What to do during an air alert?
  • If you hear a siren or receive an EE-ALARM notification about an air threat with instructions to take shelter, treat the warning seriously and immediately seek shelter indoors in the nearest available building.
  • The safest place is the nearest room without windows. In wartime, a basement or another space with strong walls is preferable.
What to do if you find a fallen drone?

If you discover a suspicious attack drone, act in the same way as you would when finding a potential explosive device:

  • Do not approach the drone.
  • Immediately call the emergency number 112.
  • Move to a safe distance.
  • Warn people nearby and prevent anyone from approaching the object.
  • Do not share its location on social media.
What to do if you see a flying drone?
  • Even if no official warning has been issued, any suspicious flying object should be treated as a potential air threat, and you should act with caution.
  • If you hear or see missiles, drones, or explosions, first ensure your own safety. If necessary, quickly move indoors to the nearest shelter, staying as low as possible and away from doors and windows.
  • Once you are in a safe place, you can get additional information from www.kriis.ee or by calling the national information line at 1247.
