In an interview with the PAP agency, Polish Deputy Interior Minister Lesnickiewicz said that it is necessary for Polish residents to form a stock of food and medicines sufficient to live independently for 72 hours. This will allow to survive the first, most difficult days of a potential crisis.

In a critical situation, the state will not always be able to quickly replace the personal actions of each citizen,” he said.

Lesnikievich recommended to stock up on water, necessary medicines, personal hygiene products, long-lasting food and alternative sources of lighting that do not depend on the power grid, as well as to have on hand charged external batteries.

According to available information, in case of emergency situations, whether natural disasters or military actions, 16 thousand volunteer fire brigades and 5 thousand rescue squads of the State Fire Service are ready to help the population of Poland.

This year, Poland has carried out an inventory of available protective structures. According to the fire service, there are more than 300 thousand shelters in the country, which can accommodate more than 1.1 million people.
