Amidst heightened security tensions and reports of potential escalation, the Carmiel Municipality announced Tuesday evening that it is increasing its readiness for emergency scenarios. Mayor instructed the city's security officer and security teams to enhance preparedness and inspect public bomb shelters to ensure the city is ready for any security development.
A statement from the municipality's spokesperson to residents read: "As part of preparations for any emergency scenario and the sounds of war heard in the media, Mayor instructed the city's security officer and security teams to increase preparedness and inspect all public bomb shelters in order to be ready for any development." The municipality clarified that there is no change in public directives, emphasizing, "It is important to stress that there is no change in the Home Front Command's instructions. Hotline 106 is at your disposal 24 hours a day."
This is not the first time Carmiel has taken preparatory measures due to security developments. In July, the municipality announced the opening of public shelters, clarifying it was a preventative step not stemming from a specific threat. Residents were then also urged to maintain their routines and follow official instructions.
The city's emergency system is responsible for coordinating activities with security and rescue forces, as well as ensuring the continuation of essential services during times of need. The municipality's website lists public shelters with their locations and addresses, allowing residents to familiarize themselves with protection options in their areas. The municipality advises residents to ensure their home protected spaces are accessible and clear of objects, check their emergency equipment, and know the nearest public shelter.
These are preparatory measures that can be taken even during routine times, regardless of changes in security directives. In addition to the 24-hour hotline 106, residents can also contact the municipal center at 04-9085541. The city's website provides further information on emergency preparedness, defense instructions, and a list of public shelters throughout Carmiel.
