Overview
- Saudi Civil Defense used the National Early Warning Platform to send an alert covering Jeddah, Khamis Mushait, Yanbu, Taif, Abha and Jazan.
- The bulletin instructs people to move to interior rooms away from windows and to remain inside until authorities confirm the danger has passed.
- Authorities told those outdoors to enter the nearest building or shelter behind a solid barrier and warned people not to gather, photograph, or approach hazardous sites.
- Drivers who receive the warning are advised to pull over safely away from bridges and tall structures and to avoid stopping in exposed areas.
- The alert gives region-specific emergency contacts, saying to call 911 in Makkah, Madinah, Riyadh and the Eastern Province and 998 in other areas, and it asks the public to follow official updates for further instructions.
