With cold and stormy weather expected on Saturday and Sunday, the Water Authority advises people to leave a faucet dripping overnight, to ensure pipes don’t freeze, especially in hilly areas.
It recommends storing enough bottles of water for each family member, and writing down the number of the local water supply company.
Snow is expected on the Golan Heights and hilly areas over 600 meters (1,970 feet) above sea level.
On Wednesday evening, Energy Minister Eli Cohen chaired a meeting of the heads of all the bodies involved in electricity and water supply to ensure there is no disruption.
Energy Ministry director general Yossi Dayan and other officials will hold daily situation assessments, a ministry spokesman says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
