Safety

This subject is probably on everyone's mind.

American citizens should register with the American embassy online and sign-up for alerts. This way if a danger does arise, you will be immediately notified by the US government and provided with a way to leave. In addition, there's a 4th of July barbecue that you may be invited to.

To obtain the most updated information on Israeli security visit the following sites:

• Home Front Command
• Israel Defence Forces
• Ynetnews

Finally, it's very natural to be anxious. Talking about your concerns with family and friends has been shown to help. You may also choose to talk to one of the school provided therapists:

Emergencies:
Instructions on "How to act in an emergency"
The Emergency Site (active only during emergencies)

Police - 100
