What to do In the Event of a Coup

February 14, 2022

• Stay out of the range of gunfire by staying indoors and away from windows
• If you are outside - get to a building right away, stay low to the ground, or even take cover under a table or behind a wall
• If you are in a building - do not leave until the conflict is over

If you need to go outside:

• Avoid large and heavily populated crowds
• Do not carry large amounts of cash in the unfortunate event that you get robbed
• Stay informed - check social media and local news for updates
• Let friends and family know you are okay
• Follow the direction of local authorities
• Avoid being defiant or combative, despite your opinion of the situation
• If the conflict endures, leave the country or travel to a safer region if possible
• Downloading a police scanner app could help find the safest way out of the country
