Recommendations:

Jordan

  1. Those operating or residing in Jordan are advised to adhere to all safety precautions due to the extreme risk posed by potential Iranian missile and UAV intrusions and the attempts to intercept them.
  2. Stay updated about the authorities’ instructions regarding sirens and shelters.

Israel

During Color Red sirens:

  1. Prefer reaching a shelter if possible. In “Mamads” (residential secure spaces), ensure that the room’s steel door and outer steel window are both locked to maintain safety.
  2. Remain in the shelter following the sounding of Color Red sirens until a follow-up “all-clear” notification from the HFC due to the risk of falling shrapnel and fragments.
  3. Approach the safe area calmly and remain cognizant of the fact that many injuries occur when people are running to the shelter panicked.
  4. If such a designated Mamad does not exist:
    1. Go to a room with as few external walls, windows, and openings as possible, sit on the floor below the window line, and near an internal wall.
    2. In an open area, lay down on the ground and cover your head with your hands.
    3. When driving, safely pull over and check your surroundings before vacating your vehicle and following the above instructions.
