The Federal Public Service "Internal Affairs" regularly informs the population located in the emergency planning zones on the measures taken for their protection. Practical instructions are also described in leaflets that are available on request from the information official of the Federal Public Service "Internal Affairs".

The protective measures, such as :

• protection of the food chain

• sheltering in a building or in a house

• distribution and ingestion of stable iodine tablets

• even, in extreme cases, evacuation

are spread through the media or by means of sirens for example.
