Unfortunately, people are not protected from emergencies, so they may find themselves hostage at the most unexpected moment by a terrorist. And the special services are practically powerless in the fight against terrorists without the support of society. Rely only on your knowledge and strength, self-control and knowledge in any emergency situations, if there is a terrorist next to you.
It is almost impossible to prepare in advance for a terrorist attack, so it is recommended that you always be on your guard. Exercise caution in crowded places and at a variety of crowded events, hypermarkets and entertainment venues.
As a rule, terrorists try to act covertly, out of sight of ordinary citizens and law enforcement agencies. Nevertheless, their activities and behavior can be suspicious and unusual. If you think that the signs of a stranger's behavior cannot be explained, report it immediately to the police. Be as careful as possible, remember the distinctive features of the person, clothing, scars and tattoos (if any), demeanor and conversation topics. In no case do not try to stop this person on your own, otherwise there is a great risk of becoming his first victim.
If you are suddenly taken hostage by a terrorist, assess the situation and try to remain calm, do not shout, do not cry, do not show your fear, so you can make the invaders even more angry. Do not enter into a conversation with terrorists and in no case offer resistance, do not dissuade them from their intended plan and do not try to pity them. Fulfill all their requirements and wait for help, for sure the law enforcement agencies are already negotiating with the invaders.
You may have to spend several days in the same room with terrorists, you should be prepared for the fact that you may not be allowed to eat and drink for a long time. Therefore, save energy, especially if there is little oxygen in the room. If you are forbidden to move, do simple exercises on the spot: tense the muscles of the legs and arms, wiggle your fingers, try not to make sudden movements so as not to anger the invaders.
If an assault suddenly begins, take a position away from doorways and windows, as building structures and glass fragments can cause you significant injury during shelling. Stay away from terrorists, as snipers will start working on them. In case of strong pops and explosions, a strong smell of smoke, immediately lie on the floor, close your eyes and head with your hands. Wait for the employees of the divisions to take you out of the building, do not try to escape on your own.
