Why keep it on your phone
- Works offline. All 20 situations are saved on your phone and open even when the connection or power is lost.
- A shelter nearby. Shelters, KAS shelters, sirens and water in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland — on the same InCaseMap map.
- And first aid. In the same app — 38 first-aid instructions.
- With sources. Steps based on PAGD, Ministry of National Defence, RSC and police recommendations, with sources for every situation.
How it was prepared
Every step comes from state-institution and ESO recommendations: the Fire and Rescue Department (PAGD) website lt72.lt, the Ministry of National Defence, the Radiation Protection Centre, the Lithuanian Police and AB “Energijos skirstymo operatorius” (ESO). Each situation lists the sources its steps come from.
The text is shortened so it can be read in a few seconds, without changing the meaning of the steps. The Lithuanian source text was checked on 5 October 2026; this translation follows it step by step and is reviewed whenever the institutions update their recommendations.

What do yellow, red and white air raid alerts mean?
Yellow — a likely air raid: plan a safe place or shelter and follow the messages. Red — air raid: hurry to a shelter or safe place without delay. Yellow after red — stay in the safe place until the message that the danger is over. White — no danger. More — Air raid alert.
What should I do if I hear sirens?
Do not panic, turn on LRT radio or television straight away, listen to the message and do what it says. “Attention everyone” is a pulsing siren sound that lasts 3 minutes.
