Manama : The Ministry of Interior has issued an advisory calling on all citizens and residents to exercise heightened caution and adhere to safety protocols in the event of a loud explosion or the activation of warning sirens.
The Ministry urges the public to remain calm and immediately follow the outlined safety measures, particularly when driving:
– Adhere strictly to designated speed limits and drive with caution.
– Clear the left lane to ensure unimpeded access for emergency vehicles.
– Continue driving safely while giving way to civil defence units, ambulances, traffic police, and security patrols, so they can respond swiftly and effectively.
– Tune in to official radio and television channels for verified updates and guidance.
– If the situation escalates, seek shelter in the nearest building or take cover in a secure, enclosed area until authorities announce that it is safe to proceed.
The Ministry affirms that these measures are part of Bahrain’s proactive efforts to safeguard public safety and ensure efficient emergency response.
