Civilian low-profile behaviour, light and noise
Reduce needless attention without adopting a military appearance or unsafe hiding place.
Restrained civilian behaviour may reduce unnecessary attention. This is not camouflage or evasion training; it is about recognisable civilian status, information discipline and avoiding conspicuous light, noise and valuables.

Decision compass
Decide safely
Four questions lead from observation to a clear, safer action.
What needs to be clarified now?
What must I notice first?
- Record household needs, dependencies, current official information and available safe locations.
- Agree responsibilities, communication rules and a fallback before time pressure develops.
Remember: Observe → assess → choose a safer option → act.
Remain neutral, prepared and recognisably civilian.
EXPLANATORY GRAPHIC · PRACTICAL GUIDE
FIGHTandSURVIVELow-profile but clearly civilian
Reduce needless attention without teaching camouflage or evasion.
Light check
Check leakage from outside; keep escape and ventilation clear.
Retreat check
Air, fuel, damage, exit and alternative.
Unsafe
Military marks, live locations, blocked exits or airless hiding places.
RESULT / SAFETY CHECKBoundary: no guidance for evading forces, drones or thermal imaging.
Learning goals
- Remain clearly identifiable as a civilian
- Cover unnecessary light and silence avoidable devices
- Check whether a temporary refuge can be reached, occupied and left safely
Remain recognisably civilian
Wear neutral weather-appropriate clothing without military insignia or weapon-like objects. Keep documents orderly. Do not photograph positions, checkpoints or armed movements, and do not share live locations that may endanger others.
Control light and sound
Close curtains or use existing blackout before switching on bright light, without blocking escape. Silence unnecessary device alerts and keep voices low. Candles or covered lamps must not create fire, trip or carbon-monoxide hazards.
Retreat, not a hazardous hiding place
A temporary place needs air, an exit and preferably an alternative, distance from glass and no fuel or collapse signs. Do not use military facilities, service shafts, vehicles or sealed containers. Household members should know the location.
Practical check
- Keep neutral clothing ready
- Reduce light leakage safely
- Review alerts and location sharing
- Check air, fire and exits
- Do not publish military observations
Important
- Do not use military camouflage or insignia
- No drone, thermal-imaging or checkpoint evasion methods
- Never hide in confined or unstable spaces
