This week, the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality, funded by the Fellowship Fund and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Social Security, distributed hundreds of smart watches to its deaf and hard of hearing residents known to the municipal social services administration, which contacted the eligible residents.

The watches include life-saving vibration warnings during missile fire. The wristband connects to the user's mobile device alerts and vibrates so that there is no need to be attached to the mobile device to receive alerts, which is a solution in sleep mode because the vibration function is programmed to wake the user effectively during an alarm.
Ron Huldai, Mayor of Tel Aviv-Yafo: "Our job in these complex times is to take care of all the populations in the city. That's why we purchased vibrating smartwatches that warn of alarms and missile fire for the deaf and hard of hearing residents of the city. Social resilience, accessibility and equality are more important these days than ever. We will continue to take care of everyone who needs us now."
