Stay safe: The best places to go in the event of a rocket attack
A residential or communal saferoom is best, then a building shelter or public shelter. If those aren’t available, head for an internal stairwell or a room without external walls
According to the Home Front Command, a private reinforced saferoom, known by the acronym MaMaD in Hebrew, located within a residential home, or a communal saferoom in office buildings, government offices and shopping malls, is the preferred option.
This is because such spaces are designed specifically to provide protection against rocket attacks and other forms of bombardment, and critically take very little time to reach.
If someone does not have access to a safe room, the next best option is the shelter of an apartment building, provided it can be reached in time.
After that, public shelters, which are located at different locations around city neighborhoods, towns and small communities, are the next best option, again on condition that they can be reached in time.
There is, however, a large portion of the population that does not have access to any reinforced protected spaces.
In that case, the next best choice is to take cover in a building stairwell, on condition that it is located internally within the building and has no windows or external walls.
