An alarm siren sounded at the Kemerovo office of Kuzbasskaya Toplivnaya Company JSC, alerting employees to evacuate the building immediately. Within minutes, everyone evacuated to the street.
Vyacheslav Deryabin, Head of the Department of Mobilization, Civil Defense, and Emergencies, briefed office specialists on the objectives of the exercise and reiterated the rules of conduct during major man-made accidents and natural disasters.
"The evacuation drill took place as part of a major two-day staff exercise, which is held annually in all regions of the country in connection with the celebration of Civil Defense Day. The main objective of the training is to update the knowledge and skills of citizens, including employees of large enterprises, on actions to take in the event of natural and man-made emergencies, as well as in the event of threats or outbreaks of military conflicts.
Today, our employees evacuated in response to an alarm in the shortest possible time. The fire alarm is functioning properly. We also discussed the procedure for issuing personal protective equipment and dispatching to evacuation points during major emergencies and civil defense measures," noted Vyacheslav Deryabin.
