If you find a drone or its parts on the ground, stay at least 100 metres away from them. They may contain explosives or toxic components. Report the find by calling 1247 (or 112 if the item is obviously dangerous\/smoking).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stay indoors. If you hear the drone buzzing or air defence activity, go indoors and stay away from windows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trust official channels. Follow the official information from Valga Municipality, the Police and Border Guard Board, and the Rescue Board. Do not spread unverified rumours on social media.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0If you find drone debris, do not share the location of the object on social media \u2013 this will prevent crowds of onlookers from gathering at the scene and reduce the risk to other people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We live in an age of crises and must be prepared to deal with various unexpected events. The more people who can act independently and consciously in different crisis situations, the more lives we can save, prevent damage to health, the environment and property, and support those in need.
