Search and Rescue earthquake training - Eilat Israel

[YehudiMaamin]

A massive earthquake is the biggest immediate threat Israel faces, not Iranian nukes or terrorism. We have good search and rescue techniques (on the positive side) but I fear Israel is not prepared for a massive earthquake in terms of how the buildings are reinforced, many buildings here are old and not up to code. The public and politicians ignore this very real threat and focus only on the security issue. I hope something can be done to lessen the disaster before it's too late!

since 1991 gulf war every house in israel most have mamad(reinforced concret room) .

this room suppose to help u in missile attack but i think that also in earthquke it can help.

even if you live on high story building and it collapses , the mamad can rise your chances of survival . no?

[YehudiMaamin]

I hope so!

I'm a religious guy and think we should have faith in Hashem, but we still should prepare ourselves. I don't always have such emunah in Medinat Yisrael and contractors.

Remember Ason gesher ha yarkon, the maccabiah bridge collapse, remmeber palkal, ason versailles?

There is a lot of corruption in Israel.

:-(

if you got no emuna in israel we got nothing to talk about anymore . . .

alek yehodi ma'amin. . .
