Rocket alerts & protected spaces
What a siren means and what to do. Know this before you need it.
In some situations you may hear a siren (an alert). It means you should move to a protected space right away. Knowing what to do in advance keeps you safe.
When you hear a siren
1. Go to a protected space
Go immediately to the nearest protected space — a protected room (Mamad), a shelter, or an interior stairwell away from windows.
2. If you are outdoors
If there is no shelter nearby, follow the official Home Front Command guidance for being outside.
3. Wait until it is safe
Stay in the protected space until you are told it is safe to leave.
