The Yerushalayim Municipality is intensifying its readiness for a range of potential emergency situations, reinforcing long-term security planning with practical measures aimed at protecting residents across the city.

Approximately six weeks ago, as part of a structured, multi-year municipal security framework, city officials carried out an extensive emergency exercise throughout Yerushalayim. The drill was conducted in coordination with the Home Front Command, along with all relevant security and rescue bodies. During the exercise, municipal emergency teams were deployed, systems designed to assist residents were activated, and essential services were tested under simulated crisis conditions.

In continuation of these preparations, the municipality announced that a detailed emergency information booklet will soon be delivered to homes across the city and made available through various digital platforms. The guide provides critical life-saving safety directives, a comprehensive listing of shelters and protected spaces throughout Yerushalayim, guidance on preparing households for emergencies, and additional practical information for residents.

Yerushalayim Mayor Moshe Lion said, “Early preparation, personal responsibility, and adherence to the security authorities’ instructions are key to safeguarding lives and the resilience of the city of Jerusalem. The municipality is constantly working to strengthen municipal readiness and is committed to providing a professional, swift, and responsible response to any scenario. I urge residents to review the booklet upon receiving it, keep it in an accessible place, and follow the instructions when needed.”

The mayor further emphasized that municipal services will remain operational during emergency situations. Residents will continue to have access to assistance and information through all official communication channels, including the 106 municipal hotline, the city’s website, social media platforms, and other authorized messaging systems.
