experts generally warn of the dangers of war relics that often occur in residential areas. According to information from [Kommunal] (https://kommunal.at/vadlicht-bei-bei- Warrelikte), almost 15,000 duds are still in the soil in Austria. In 2019, 1,140 finds were registered with war material, which had to be disposed of accordingly by the design service. When discovering such relics, the general rule applies: "finger away". In such cases, citizens should inform the police immediately and do not touch the property.

according to Kommunal, the Federal Army's demonstration service is responsible for eliminating explosive material from the period before 1955. The government has also initiated stationing exercises and sensitization campaigns in order to increase awareness of the dangers of war relics. Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner emphasizes the importance of acting quickly in suspected cases and contacting qualified specialists.
