I understand the tensions and worry about the possibility of escalated conflicts. Here are few ways to hopefully help mitigate the fears:
1. Stay Informed: Keep updated with the news from reliable sources. This will help you get a grasp on the intensity of the situation.
2. Emergency Plan: Formulate an emergency plan for your family. This could include knowing where the nearest bomb shelter is, having basic necessities ready in case of evacuation, etc.
3. Know the Signals: Recognise warning sirens or signals. Your local governing body will likely have a system in place to alert residents of incoming dangers.
4. Counselling: See a counselor or mental health professional to talk about fears and anxieties. It’s important to look after your mental health during times of high stress.
5. Community Engagement: Connect with neighbors and community members. You can look out for one another and provide emotional support during difficult times.
Above all, we need to remember that diplomatic efforts are often working behind the scenes to resolve such conflicts. Having said that, it’s important to take necessary precautions for your safety.
