Newscopy: AIR RAID PROTECTION WHAT TO DO IN YOUR HOME. When the air raid siren sounds, fill available containers, including the bathtub with water. This serves two purposes it provides: (1) a ready supply of water in the event of fire, and (2) readily available water for the family in the event a bomb strikes the water main in your neighborhood, cutting off or greatly reducing the water pressure.
