From the very first moments of the heinous Iranian aggression targeting Kuwaiti territory, the operations room of the General Directorate of Civil Defense was established as a hub of preparedness. Through it, the country’s institutions collaborated in a coordinated and well-planned manner, reflecting the high level of readiness and the state’s ability to manage crises efficiently. The room includes representatives from civilian and military government agencies working around the clock to provide all necessary support and answer inquiries. It also features display screens monitoring all roads and vital locations. Furthermore, it houses the vigilant personnel of the Civil Defense, who rushed to protect the lives and property of citizens and residents during emergencies by activating three-tone sirens — a flashing tone indicating imminent danger, a wavy tone indicating actual danger, and a continuous tone indicating the danger has passed. The room handles all inquiries and reports immediately, contributing to a sense of security among citizens and residents through continuous monitoring and addressing all their needs. The operations room serves as a model of the vigilance of its personnel, who dedicate themselves wholeheartedly to ensuring the safety of citizens and residents under all circumstances. — KUNA
