The Russians continue to hit Ukraine's critical infrastructure. Such strikes result in problems with the supply of electricity and water, and in addition, communications may disappear. This is exactly what happened on October 10 in Lvov after the rocket attack of the invaders.
Keep important numbers and buy a radio
The city was not only left without electricity and water, but also without mobile communications – Lviv residents for some time did not have access to the Internet and could not contact their loved ones using phones. The threat of attacks on critical infrastructure remains, so the Lviv OVA gave advice in case of repeated communication problems.
Maxim Kozitsky, the head of the administration, explained what should be done if the connection temporarily disappears again in the Lviv region. These tips will also be useful for residents of other regions of Ukraine.
First of all, you need to remember or save external and emergency service numbers :
- 101 – fire brigade,
- 102 – police,
- 103 – ambulance,
- 104 – emergency gas service,
- 112/032 259 60 31 – Lviv region hotline.
So as not to miss important information, it is worth buying a battery-powered radio , or even better, a battery-powered one, because it will last longer. The ideal option would be if the batteries are charged from sunlight.
Kozitsky stressed that during an air raid it is necessary to be in cover. You need to take an “alarm suitcase” with you with a supply of water and food, warm clothes and necessary medicines.
What mobile communications depend on
Lviv Mayor Andriy Sadovyy said on the air of a joint news marathon that mobile communications directly depend on electricity supply. When it disappears, diesel generators are turned on, which in fact all operating companies have. However, the question of resources remains, that is, for how long these generators can provide access to the mobile network.
If the attacks are massive, then the situation may be aggravated by the fact that we can days to be without high-quality communication,” Sadovyi emphasized.
He noted that it is important to prepare your relatives for the fact that in the event of another attack, the connection may disappear and it will not be possible to call each other. In such a situation, the main thing is not to panic, to maintain confidence in the Armed Forces and the victory of Ukraine.
The Russians struck again at Lvov
- 11 October, the occupiers repeated rocket attacks on the critical infrastructure of Lviv. Explosions were heard during the all-Ukrainian air raid – at about 12 o'clock.
- As a result, the city again had problems with the supply of electricity and water.
- About 30% of the city is temporarily without electricity, and in Sykhiv and Frankovsky districts there are interruptions in water supply. Sadovy urged Lviv residents to make a small supply of water if possible.
