Attention and care overcome distance

In today's world, it is simple to always stay in touch with those who need help, attention, and care, even when you are far apart.

It is simple to always stay in touch with those who need help, attention, and care, even when you are far apart in today's world. All you need to do is pick up the phone and dial the number of someone for whom even the smallest attention matters. Starting April 1st, the "101 is Calling" campaign has been launched in the Vitebsk region. Its goal is to prevent fires and deaths from them, and to raise the level of life safety culture among the rural population and elderly citizens.

– Hello, greetings, this is 101 calling.

With these words, the preventive campaign "101 is Calling" was launched in the Glubokoe district.

By making calls, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations remind the most vulnerable categories of citizens about the basic fire safety rules and how to protect themselves and their loved ones from disaster. They provide detailed information on how to act correctly in case of emergencies and which numbers to call for emergency services.

– Tell me, do you have a smoke detector installed?

This is another very important question that rescuers emphasize, as this small helper has already saved more than one life.

Since a large number of elderly citizens live in private households and have garden plots, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations pay significant attention in their conversations to the rules for burning garbage when tidying up and preventing the burning of dry vegetation.

In dialogues with lonely pensioners, problematic issues also sometimes arise, which rescuers try to answer themselves, and some of them are forwarded to the relevant structures.

– Thank you for your care, attention, and for not forgetting about us.

Such words of gratitude were heard more than once on the other end of the line, which gave the rescuers in Glubokoe even more motivation to continue their preventive work.
