Guidelines for choosing and preparing a protected space

Choose the protected space according to the amount of time atyour disposal from the moment the siren is sounded or an explosionis heard, in the following order of priority:

MAMAD (Apartment Protected Space) or MAMAK (Floor ProtectedSpace – a protected room on each story of a multistory building)are the preferred choice.

Apartment building bomb shelter: provided that the bomb shelteris internal and located inside the building, and provided that itcan be reached via an internal stairwell, regardless of the amountof warning time available.

Public bomb shelter: provided you can reach it within therequired time from the moment the siren is sounded. If there is noMAMAD or MAMAK or bomb shelter, choose a protected internal spacewith the least number of exterior walls, windows and openings.

Tenants of the top floor of a building more than three storieshigh without a MAMAD or MAMAK or an internal bomb shelter mustdescend two floors and remain in the stairwell.

Tenants of the top floor of a three-story building without aMAMAD or MAMAK or an internal bomb shelter, must descend one floorand remain in the stairwell.
