What to do if a cellular alert is received during the Aglona festival

During the Aglona festival, when thousands of pilgrims and visitors gather on the site of the celebration, the question of how to act in the event of a threat to airspace becomes particularly relevant.

With such a large number of people gathered in one place, correct and timely action in the event of an alert can be crucial for the safety of many. For this reason, attention is being drawn during the event to the importance of knowing how to respond correctly if a cellular (mobile network) alert warning is received on a phone.

Such alerts are used to quickly inform people about a possible threat in a given area, and they may also be received when a large gathering of people, such as the Aglona festival, takes place at or near a possible source of risk.

The question of readiness for such situations during large public events has been raised more often recently, given the overall security situation in the region. This is why organizers and responsible authorities are drawing attention to the need for visitors to familiarize themselves in advance with the principles of action in the event of an alert, so that they are able to react quickly and calmly if necessary.

The Aglona festival draws large numbers of visitors every year, including pilgrims from across Latvia, which makes awareness of how to act in emergency situations especially important during this time.
