Civil Defense issues early warning for Jeddah, Taif and Makkah

The Saudi Civil Defense has issued an early warning in Khamis Mushait, advising residents to adhere to safety guidelines until the potential threat subsides. Through the National Early Warning Platform, an alert has been disseminated, notifying citizens of a possible danger and urging them to comply with official instructions for their protection.

Civil Defense officials highlighted the significance of maintaining composure and promptly seeking refuge in the nearest safe area within a building or an interior room, away from windows, until the threat has dissipated. They also stressed the necessity of avoiding leaving homes or buildings until the emergency situation has been officially confirmed to be over.

Civil Defense recommended that individuals stay clear of open spaces and glass surfaces, and refrain from standing on balconies or rooftops. Those outdoors were instructed to seek shelter in the nearest building or find cover behind a sturdy barrier. Furthermore, Civil Defense cautioned the public against congregating or filming, urging them to stay away from hazardous locations upon receiving the warning.

Motorists encountering the alert while traveling were directed to pull over to the side of the road, away from bridges and high-rise structures. Authorities emphasized that if any danger is observed, individuals should contact the emergency number 911 in Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, or 998 in other parts of the Kingdom for assistance.
