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.
According to Bahrain News Agency, the Ministry urges the public to remain calm and immediately follow the outlined safety measures, particularly when driving. Citizens and residents are advised to adhere strictly to designated speed limits and drive with caution, clear the left lane to ensure unimpeded access for emergency vehicles, and continue driving safely while giving way to civil defence units, ambulances, traffic police, and security patrols. These steps are crucial to enabling emergency services to respond swiftly and effectively.
Furthermore, the advisory emphasizes the importance of tuning in to official radio and television channels for verified updates and guidance. In cases where the situation escalates, individuals are advised to seek shelter in the nearest building or take cover in a secure, enclosed area until authorities announce that it is safe to proceed.
