Amman: The Public Security Directorate (PSD) has reissued a comprehensive set of safety guidelines concerning unidentified objects, urging the public to follow necessary precautions amid current regional developments to safeguard national security. The directorate emphasized the importance of not approaching or handling any objects found or seen falling, as they may contain highly hazardous explosive materials.
According to Jordan News Agency, the PSD stated that if air raid sirens are activated, individuals must remain where they are, whether at home or other locations, and stay away from windows and exposed areas. The authority further urged the public to avoid gathering near any detected debris or foreign objects, emphasizing the importance of allowing specialized emergency teams the necessary space to investigate and handle such situations.
Citizens have been called upon to immediately report sightings of falling objects, drones, or rockets, as well as any resulting casualties or property damage, by calling the unified emergency number (911). The directorate strongly warned against touching, opening, or moving any object of unknown shape or origin due to the immediate risk to life. It highlighted the crucial need to raise awareness within families, particularly among children, regarding the dangers of tampering with unfamiliar items.
Furthermore, the PSD urged the public to refrain from circulating rumors or publishing unverified information, photos, or videos on social media platforms concerning the nature or impact sites of these objects. It stressed that information should only be gathered from official institutional sources.
Clarifying the alert system, the directorate explained that three intermittent siren blasts indicate an active threat, while a single continuous blast signifies that the danger has passed. Upon hearing the three intermittent alerts, individuals must remain stationary. Anyone caught outdoors should immediately seek shelter in the nearest building until the threat concludes. The advisory concluded by reiterating that individuals should stay clear of windows, avoid open spaces, and remain near concrete stairwells, if available, until the all-clear siren sounds.
