Security Shelters in Israel
All public buildings in Israel have two types of public shelters:
- A Miklat (shelter)
- Merchav Mugan “מרחב מוגן” (a protected area)
- All Technion buildings have such shelters
- Public signs designate the shelter areas
- It is legitimate to use the shelter of a building in which you happen to be, even if it is not your home or workplace
- Familiarize yourself with the shelter location closest to where you work and live
- If you hear an alarm or a siren proceed immediately to the nearest shelter
- When in doubt, ask people around you for the closest shelter
- If there is no obvious shelter, then a room with a small number of outside walls and windows, or a corridor is a safe alternative
