- What If You Live Inside the Restricted Area?
For residents who live inside a police cordon, the situation can be more complicated.
You may need to collect medication, reach a family member, return home from work, or make arrangements for children or older relatives.
Do not attempt to bypass barriers on your own. Instead, ask an officer or consult the official information channel for instructions on whether residents can enter or leave.
If you have an urgent medical need, tell emergency personnel so they can advise you on a safe way to obtain assistance.
Keep your phone charged, check messages from local authorities, and make sure household members understand any evacuation or shelter instructions.
If authorities direct you to leave, take essential medication and identification if doing so is safe, but do not delay an evacuation to collect belongings.
