Special measures have been introduced at facilities, specialists are assessing the scale of damage and doing everything possible to restore power. All emergency services are on full alert. Important: ❗️Save your phone battery. Use gadgets only for emergency communication. Turn off background applications, reduce brightness to minimum. ❗️Do not overload the network. When power is restored — do not turn on all electrical appliances at once. ❗️Stay calm. Panic is what the enemy is counting on. Help those around you, especially elderly neighbors.
