Home Front Command Guidelines

When an alert is received, we have 90 seconds (a minute and a half) to reach the protected space. The protected space should be chosen according to the following order of priority:

• Mamad (apartment safe room) or Mamak (floor safe room): These are the most preferred options.
• Shelter: Provided the shelter is within the building and can be reached within the defined time frame.
• An interior room in the home: A room with a minimum of exterior walls, windows and openings.
• Stairwell: In buildings without a safe room or shelter, go down to a middle floor and stay in the stairwell.

The council recommends that every resident keep at least two active alert methods:

• Home Front Command app: The most precise method, identifying your location and sending a targeted alert.
• Council sirens: The network of sirens deployed throughout the town.
• Radio and television: The main channels activate a "silent wave" and provide real-time reports.

A prepared town is a town whose residents are prepared. We recommend preparing a family "emergency kit" that includes:

• Water: 3 liters per person per day (for at least 72 hours).
• Food: Dry goods or canned food (that do not require refrigeration).
• Lighting: A battery-powered flashlight and a radio.
• First-aid kit: Regular medications and important documents (a copy of ID, apartment lease).
• Backup batteries: For mobile devices.

The council maintains a network of public shelters deployed at strategic points around the town.

Please note: when the alert level rises, the council automatically opens all public shelters remotely or via the security division's inspection teams.

• Home Front Command hotline: 104 (24/7 phone response).
• National Emergency Portal: www.oref.org.il
• Council hotline (106): To report hazards or the need for logistical assistance.

Together, with discipline and responsibility, we will keep Kafr Yasif safe.
