The «United Safety Day» campaign starts in Belarus on September 1
The objectives of the "Unified Safety Day" are to foster a culture of life safety in society, conduct educational and upbringing work with the younger generation, and promote safe living conditions. "Drills and exercises will be held to respond to natural and man-made emergencies – at hazardous facilities and in buildings with mass gatherings of people. Checks of the alert system, including via SMS, and the broadcast of messages from the Ministry of Emergency Situations on television and radio are planned. Various institutions will practice evacuation from their buildings," the Ministry of Emergency Situations stated.
Open days, preventive campaigns in educational institutions, discussions in work collectives, an intellectual game "Safe Neighbor," an educational platform "Five Steps to Salvation," concert programs, and theatrical performances will take place.
In addition to the Prosecutor General's Office, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, the Ministry of Housing and Communal Services, the Ministry of Culture, and local authorities, various organizations and public associations will participate in the campaign, such as the Federation of Trade Unions of Belarus, the Belarusian Voluntary Fire Society, the Belarusian Red Cross Society, OSVOD, "Belaya Rus," and BRSM.
During the campaign, republican government bodies and public associations will hold thematic days. For example, on September 2, these will be the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture, and the thematic days will conclude on September 9-10 with the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Health, the BVFS, and OSVOD.
For the first time in Belarus, a similar campaign involving a large number of departments was held from February 20 to March 1.
