How should you act if you receive an emergency alert about a potentially dangerous drone or other unmanned aircraft?
Have you received an emergency alert about a potentially dangerous drone?
Follow these instructions:
- Move indoors.
- Authorities advise everyone to move indoors. Indoors, stay in the central parts of the building, in a room with strong walls, and keep away from windows.
- If you cannot go indoors, find the most sheltered place possible.
- If you cannot see or hear the drone, stay alert to your surroundings while outdoors and be prepared to take cover.
Do not approach an unmanned aircraft.
What should I do if I find a fallen drone?
If you find a suspicious drone or drone parts on the ground, act as you would if you found a possible explosive device.
- Do not approach the unmanned aircraft. Keep a safe distance (at least 150 metres).
- Call 112 and report the situation to the emergency centre.
- Warn others nearby and try to prevent anyone from approaching the object.
- Do not share your location or photos of the drone on social media.
What should I do if I see a drone?
- Even if no official warning has been issued, it is important to assess the situation and exercise caution.
- If you hear or see a drone or explosions, first ensure your own safety and, if necessary, move immediately to the nearest indoor location, to the central parts of the building, away from doors and windows.
- Once you are in a safe place, follow the authorities’ communications.
- Call the emergency number 112 if
- you observe an unmanned aircraft near critical infrastructure, in no‑fly zones or in otherwise suspicious circumstances, or
- you find a fallen unmanned aircraft.
- Do not call the emergency number for general questions or inquiries.
