Tel Aviv issues emergency instructions
The Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality announces it has switched to emergency footing in the wake of multiple rocket attacks on the city.
The city has opened all its bomb shelters, listed here.
The IDF’s Home Front Command has published a website with detailed instructions of all areas of the country.
Mira Marcus, the city’s international press director, issued an English-language statement to the public with detailed instructions for residents:
– Following the siren in Tel Aviv and instructions from IDF Home Front Command (http://www.oref.org.il/894-en/Pakar.aspx), the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality has moved to working in a state of emergency and has opened all of the shelters for the public. The full list can be found at: http://gisn.tel-aviv.gov.il/iview2/index.aspx?zoom=14000&layers=592&
– In addition, a GPS-based map of public shelters can be found on the municipal app DIGITEL (in Hebrew.)
– Until IDF Home Front Command orders otherwise, all events are taking place as usual, including summer camps and other municipal public activities.
– The Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality is working in full cooperation with the security forces and is ready to respond to any need in a state of emergency.
