Kyiv residents urged to stock up on water and food and charge power banks amid intensifying attacks
The Kyiv City State Administration has urged residents of the capital to prepare reserves of drinking water, long-shelf-life food and lighting, and to check the charge of power banks and portable power stations. The recommendations were issued amid intensifying Russian attacks.
The statement was published on the KMDA website.
They noted that energy workers are working around the clock to restore power supply, and utility services are working to stabilize the water supply. At the same time, the capital's authorities are urging Kyiv residents to take care of their basic needs in advance in the event of prolonged outages.
In particular, it is recommended to prepare at least a three-day water supply: 3 liters of drinking water and 10-12 liters of utility water per person per day. During power outages, 155 pump-room complexes in the capital will be able to operate on generators. City residents are advised to find the nearest pump rooms to their homes in advance.
Kyiv residents are also advised to stock up on food that does not need to be cooked using electricity, as well as flashlights, batteries and candles. To keep warm, it is recommended to insulate windows and check room insulation.
"Take care of safe movement on the street in the dark. Wear light-reflecting clothing or wear reflective tapes on your sleeve, bag or backpack," the KMDA added.
Recall that earlier it became known that Invincibility Points are being deployed in the Obolon, Podil and Sviatoshyn districts of Kyiv due to the difficult energy supply situation. It was also reported that the capital's energy system will be reinforced with additional power sources.
Kyiv Mayor Vitalii Klitschko stated that due to intensifying attacks, the capital is effectively entering "survival mode" ahead of winter, and he advises residents of the capital who have the opportunity to consider temporary relocation.
