Correct behavior in the face of daily threats will save lives!
The danger
The main threat to the rear of the State of Israel is missile and rocket fire.
Many countries realized that the war had moved from the front to the home front.
The Home Front Command has formulated guidelines for citizens on how to behave when an alarm or explosion is heard. Compliance with these guidelines will significantly minimize the extent of damage that may be caused by missile or rocket fire towards the home front of the State of Israel.

Upper Galilee Warning Zone 41
Instructions when an alarm sounds
When an alarm sounds, the protection process must be completed, depending on the time available to us, and the following instructions must be followed:
In the structure:
We must enter a shelter, a shelter, or a protected interior room, depending on the time available to us, and close doors and windows.
Upper floor residents living in a building above three floors in a structure without a fire department, emergency room, or internal shelter will go down two floors.
The top floor residents living in a three-story building in a structure without a fire station, fire station, or internal shelter will go down one floor.
Civilians are required not to be in the entrance area of buildings, as there is a risk of shrapnel and impact as a result of missiles falling near buildings.
Unless otherwise instructed, you can exit the shelter after 10 minutes.
It is important to stay away from unidentified objects or a rocket lying on the ground. In such a case, curious people should be kept away and the police should be notified.
You must continue to listen to the instructions in the media.
While staying in a trailer – if the warning time does not allow you to do "as much protection as possible", lie down in the center of the classroom/trailer and protect your head with your hands, staying away from doors and windows.
Outside the building:
• In a built-up area – enter the building and follow the instructions for those inside the building.
• In an open area – lie down and protect your head with your hands.
Passengers in the car:
They will stop on the side of the road, get out of the vehicle, and enter a nearby building or shelter.
If it is not possible to reach a structure or shelter within the given time period, you should get out of the vehicle, lie on the floor and protect your head with your hands.
If it is not possible to follow the two previous instructions, you must stop and wait in the vehicle for 10 minutes.
Passengers on public transportation:
When an alarm sounds while riding a bus, the driver must stop the bus, open the bus doors, and passengers must duck below the window line and protect their heads.
When an alarm sounds while traveling on a train, the driver must slow the train to 30 km/h for 10 minutes and must be below the window line.
