The U.S. Embassy in Doha urges U.S. citizens to exercise caution, review security plans, and stay alert in case of future attacks. In the event of an attack or a reported security incident, actions to take:
- If you hear a loud explosion, or if sirens are activated, immediately seek cover.
- If in a home or building, go to the lowest level of the structure with the fewest exterior walls, windows, and openings; close any doors and sit near an interior wall, away from any windows or openings.
- If you are outdoors, immediately seek cover in a hardened structure; if that is not possible, lie down and cover your head with your hands.
- Be aware that even if the incoming missile or drone is intercepted, falling debris represents a significant risk.
- After the attack, stay away from any debris, and monitor major news outlets for official guidance.
