Emergency Contacts

Updated Security Guidelines

As you are aware, the latest events brought us to deal with missile and rocket attacks from Gaza. Please click here to learn about appropriate action to be taken when hearing a siren (and for location of public shelters on campus and in the dorms), based on the instructions of the Home Front Command (Pikud Ha'oref). Acting in accordance with these instructions is critical and will significantly reduce danger. Please follow guidelines that will be published by mail/internet site.

A siren in the greater Tel Aviv area provides approximately 1½ minutes to find appropriate secure space. Once the siren stops, you are requested to stay 10 minutes within the secure area if no further instructions are issued. Stay clear of unidentified objects.
