A national plan for mass evacuation is being prepared in Lithuania, which will be presented in October 2024, LRT reports.
Minister of the Interior Agnė Bilotaitė emphasized that the national plan must be ready to be implemented if necessary, despite the existing regional evacuation plans.
Following the recent cyber attacks, the safety of the population has become a priority.
“Today, civil protection is more relevant than ever. The war against Ukraine continues, the countries of our region are subject to hybrid and disinformation attacks, and sabotage is our new reality. It is important to note that we are on the front lines, so today civil protection has become a priority in our daily routine,” the head of the country’s interior ministry explained.
The head of the Lithuanian interior ministry also stated that the government must now adapt civil protection to hybrid and military threats.
“We need to move from civil protection to civil defence. Times have changed," she said.
