Citizens can access alerts via designated radio stations, personal computers, or the Home Front Command app on mobile devices.

In preparation for Yom Kippur, the Home Front Command has issued safety recommendations for Israelis regarding emergency alerts.

Citizens can access alerts via designated radio stations, personal computers, or the Home Front Command app on mobile devices. Real-time alerts, instructions, and life-saving information will be available throughout the holiday.

An emergency message will guide citizens to the nearest protected space shortly before an alert, instructing them to remain there until further notice. This will be communicated through the Personal Message System and the Home Front Command app for easy access to critical information.

The military referred to the new "Personal Message" emergency alert system, first used during Iran's October 1 missile attack, noting that its aim was to notify citizens prior to the actual alert being triggered.

In the event of such a message being sent, citizens do not have to perform any activity.
