PUBLIC GUIDANCE STRATEGY

20+ years leading public guidance for a

nation under fire

20+ years leading public guidance for a nation under fire

Public guidance gaps are usually discovered mid‑crisis. I build the strategic layer most countries are still missing, so you can guide millions under pressure - what to do, when, and why.

As Head of Strategy for Israel’s Home Front Command Public Guidance Unit, I helped guide 10 million civilians through wars, rocket attacks, and national emergencies in one of the only countries that has built this capability at scale.

Today I work with civil protection and preparedness leaders worldwide to build the public guidance capability their countries will need on the worst day they face - before it arrives.

THE GAP

The missing layer in

national resilience

Every government has emergency management - shelters, evacuation routes, operational logistics. Most have crisis communications - press conferences, social media updates, official statements.

What almost none have is public guidance as a distinct strategic function - the discipline of designing and operating the public guidance systems that shape how an entire civilian population behaves through complex, evolving crises.

It's the difference between issuing an alert and actually shaping how millions of people respond.

Israel is one of the few countries that has built this capability at scale - and tested it under real wartime conditions, repeatedly. I spent 20 years building and leading that capability.

WHY NOW

A window that

won’t stay open

Security environment has shifted

Conflicts that once felt distant now spill across borders in hours.

• Long‑range missiles

• Cyber operations

• Disinformation campaign

• Proxy wars

Turning civilians into direct targets and active participants.

Crises no longer unfold slowly or in isolation

They arrive suddenly, cascade across systems, and play out in full view of the public, online and offline, in real time. Populations expect clear guidance; when it’s absent, adversaries step in with their own narratives.

In this world, public guidance is no longer a “nice to have” communications asset

It is a core element of national resilience. The question is not whether you will face these pressures - it’s whether your population will already have

• The structures
• Messages
• And habits they need when they arrive

WHO I AM

I’m Assaf Haski

Assaf Haski, public guidance strategist and former Israeli Home Front Command advisor

For 20 years, I led strategy for the Israeli Home Front Command's Public Guidance Unit - the body responsible for guiding 10 million civilians through wars, rocket attacks, and national emergencies.

I've built the frameworks that determine what a population needs to hear during a crisis, through which channels, and in what sequence. I've tested those frameworks under fire, literally.

Today, I bring that operational depth to governments worldwide. I work with national agencies, civil protection organizations, and defense ministries to build or strengthen their public guidance capabilities, so that when the next crisis hits, they're not starting from zero.
