Where to flee from the war: all about choosing the city move

War is not the experience that someone needs, and that anyone can make without consequences. Therefore, it is quite normal, if in the event of the outbreak of hostilities, you decide to send family or to get away together. We will not consider emigration, and talk about the options when you are limited to the territory of the country.

Perhaps someone is now planning to buy a house or an apartment in a small town and is preparing to twist the nest. The situation is particularly relevant for professionals who are not tied to a particular place of work. Be sure to read this material.

I have repeatedly talked with people who are behind the fighting lost housing. And expensive luxury homes, and regular apartments, which were bought on the accumulated over a lifetime of money. Sometimes a month before the first attacks, so the family was sleeping literally on the floor. But in their own, not rented apartment. However, only a month. Then he was placed next to the checkpoint or military equipment, and a new long-awaited housing turned into ruins.

This is a terrible stress, which is able to break anyone - to lose in adulthood all understand that with a probability of 99% of its angle will not be never, under any circumstances. And that this mistake was made yesterday.

The tips below I assume that in the event of war the front line can go anywhere and direction. By selecting the appropriate city, you have to remember that the war could reach out and go, so it is important to choose the right place to live in the city itself.

Ideally, you need to select 5-10 cities in different parts of the country, to (I sincerely wish at worst developments to anyone of the readers do not handy none of these and my other recommendations) you might lose no time to make a decision quickly move the family and things at the right town. Often within 2-4 weeks after the start of the fighting without bribes to smuggle large loads it becomes impossible.

Relate your choice of accommodation with the basic rules below.

Distrust of the Internet rumors

Only very high-ranking officials in uniform know how, when and where will move the front line. Others, especially bloggers with an active lifestyle, political and ideological position, with insiders and "trusted source" - just mouthpieces. Often, their forecasts are far from reality, wrong, and take them into account can not be categorically.

Trust your eyes, ears, and information from the people in specific locations.

City forming enterprise

The presence of even a small plant - a guarantee that the beginning of the war, the city dies. Business in contact with the state - an incredibly tenacious entity capable of day-to-day repair broken power lines, water mains, roofs and even pay taxes.

While inside the city there is a functioning enterprise will work and everything else, including schools, kindergartens, shops and service providers. The stronger and more enterprises, the better.

Avoid cities with enterprises for the production of military equipment, weapons and ammunition. They can become the main and the first targets.

Major train station, Avtomagistralnaya isolation

In fact, it is even bad, but the replacement of the company. The presence of large station does not necessarily mean the presence of a living enterprise, but there is potential for defrosting old, has closed factories in the city.

Life due to the movement of trains and cars. In the long term (if the usual start to break communication between the regions) - creation of logistics centers for transportation of goods. All these jobs, money, and therefore life. Of course, these nodal cities are in the area of ​​special attention, as are used for transportation equipment and military, but that's why the front line of them will push even in the case of exacerbation.

The proximity to the main water, gas and electric lines

The farther away from the main city communications, the more likely that in the event of accidents and injuries after firing no one will restore months.

Believe me, to live without water, electricity, gas and communication is good only daunshifterom summer.

In reality, when there is nothing on the ninth floor to wash off the toilet, wash dishes and wash, it gives a lot of inconvenience. Cooking with smoke flavor will take several times more time, and not even close to compare the impressions with a peaceful marching porridge at the stake.

About freezing temperatures do not even want to talk. To live without heat - this is one of the most terrible test for humans.

Usually, social services are on hand lists the elderly, non-ambulant and seriously ill people. But people can get sick, break a leg, or losing power on the eve of heavy shelling, followed by a string will be pulled from people with bags, cars and buses. Like in old movies about the war. The streets are littered with broken glasses, bricks, shards and branches. On a typical high-rise building can stay 3-4 people. If you are lucky, all or almost all of the lists will remove. Others will die.

The lack of military bases and units

The authors of the post-apocalyptic works very much like to make such places the focus of power and order in a world of chaos and zombies. In our case it is the point of permanent instability or a reason to be in the midst of the fighting. Even a small radar base - a serious shortcoming and the reason to choose an alternative.

Developed infrastructure

If the city does not have a hospital, supermarket, dead roads and generally everything is bad - with the beginning of the war will be even worse.

No need to choose very abandoned and dead towns, where there were only old men and one grocery store, and from entertainment - yes moonshine fishing.

This potential dead. It happens that they will wait for the real help for years.

Carefully examine how the city has comfortable life. School, kindergarten, supermarket network or local good point, pharmacies, a hospital with doctors and equipment, dental office, hospital, bank branches, full-fledged police department, ambulance, fire department and the presence of their own public services - all this is only a basic minimum.

With the outbreak of war is nothing new globally is not built, but is repaired. And if the city is not a hospital, you have to go to a nearby, which is extremely burdensome in the presence of young children. No pharmacy or bank - the same thing: get in the car, bus or bicycle, and forward.

River or pond

Almost certainly you, like everyone, there will be difficulties with money. They are not to be missed on any long trips or on vacation himself. Therefore, it is good for your health and nerves to have at hand a good body of water to swim in plenty or go fishing in the summer. Now, when you're not limited to the movement of money and it does not seem very important, but in terms of austerity money opportunity normal rest near his home city adds a bold plus.

Relatives or friends

Yes, the war makes the people to some extent, more honest, open and ready to help. But not all. The presence of relatives or good friends who will help you in difficult situations, to employ or trite to invite guests for dinner, it is very well worth it in a strange city.

common elements

1. Do not choose a city close to the border. All of them are at risk.
2. The presence of the private sector - a serious plus. With heating system (boilers for coal, wood or banal oven), you are guaranteed to perezimuete even in the absence of electricity and gas. And in general, the closer to the ground, the easier it is to survive.
3. Choosing a house or an apartment, avoid suburbs. No matter how beautiful they may be, if they will suffer first and hardest fighting.
4. The presence of a well or wells in the yard - a huge plus.
5. Learn about typical problems: water supply on the clock, a power failure, surges, floods, mudflows and other things. Since the beginning of the war, they get worse.
6. Consider the presence of a number of graves of chemical or radioactive waste, and other objects that without proper monitoring can lead to serious problems.
7. Do not take the houses and apartments at the intersections of roads. In such places usually set up roadblocks, and then all around the property turns into ruins.
8. Do not take the house and apartment nepodvedonnymi communications and serious subquality. You do not know when everything will start. And if you break out somewhere nearby, all of your agreement, stapled signatures, seals and the most solid assurances, will be ignored.
9. Bad juxtaposition - kindergartens, schools, vocational schools, warehouses. In such places often placed military and machinery. This means that the guaranteed fall under the shelling and all the houses around.
10. Do not buy a house in the sparsely populated street. After the start of the fighting men will go massively so. And the empty houses and apartments will be ruthlessly and systematically loot.

War - it's very scary. It is useless to talk about, it is useless to show. To understand that it can only be experienced. No less frightening to become a refugee. Very often, the loss of housing or moving to nowhere breaks people stronger and faster than the shelling. It destroys families, makes enemies of the relatives and kills interest in the life of the people. Try to listen to yourself and make the right decision when it is necessary.
