Finding and preparing shelters in Israel is confusing, especially for new immigrants and non-Hebrew speakers. Building types vary (mamad, mamak, maman, miklat), time-to-shelter ranges from 0 to 180 seconds depending on region, and many apartments have mamads used as storage rooms that cannot be sealed quickly. Without clear guidance, people waste critical seconds during alerts.
