Get Shelter
Emergency Bomb Shelter Locator for Israel
איתור מקלטים בזמן אמת בישראל
Our Mission
When a siren goes off, every second counts. Get Shelter helps people in Israel find the nearest bomb shelter instantly — whether you're a resident, a tourist, or a new immigrant unfamiliar with your surroundings.
The app uses your GPS location to show the closest shelters on a map, with estimated travel times by foot, running, bike, and scooter. One tap opens navigation in Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Waze.
How It Works

Ranked by distance with travel times
