Paphos Municipality: Self-Protection Measures for Citizens

The Paphos Fire Department has issued a statement to citizens, due to the unstable situation in the area, urging them to be vigilant and prepared to take self-protection measures. Citizens are advised to remain calm in the event of receiving a text message on their mobile phones and to head to basements or indoor spaces. If there is no basement, they should remain inside the building, away from doors, windows, and glass. In schools, hospitals, and stadiums, the prescribed protocols will be implemented. Citizens are asked to avoid moving towards these areas. In addition, a test message will be sent to all mobile phones in Cyprus around 7 p.m. to familiarize citizens with the procedure.
