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
Your location is detected automatically
Ranked by distance with travel times
