On every fridge in Israel

From May 31 to June 4, Israel will conduct its largest country-wide civil defense drill ever, code-named “Turning Point 3.” At its height, on June 2, a siren will sound, and all Israelis will be expected to enter protected rooms and shelters for a few minutes. In advance of the drill, Israel’s Home Front Command has distributed this color-coded map to all homes (click on image to enlarge), graphically depicting the amount of time residents of each part of the country have “to reach protected space.” “Post this map on your refrigerator,” the map says, “just to be on the safe side!” To lighten the message (for children?), the map includes playful figures such as a smiling camel and frolicking dolphins.
