Interior Ministry to Implement Push Notifications for Emergency Alerts via SafeCY App

The Ministry of Interior announced changes to the SafeCY application and the operation of Civil Defense shelters. A 5% urban incentive will be given to increase shelters, with the mandatory provision of water and sanitary facilities. The Ministry is in contact with organized groups to find new spaces, such as supermarkets and underground parking areas. Unsuitable shelters (194) will be removed from the SafeCY application, while another 270 will remain private. The 112 system will be operational in June; until then, citizens will be informed via push notifications from SafeCY, depending on their location. Citizens are encouraged to download the SafeCY application for immediate information in case of emergency.
