Earthquakes In Israel – How Can We Prepare?

There have been earthquakes in Israel and there will be more in the future, based on Geology and our location on the Syrian-African rift valley – a crack between two tectonic plates facing each other and moving in opposite directions (north and south), sometimes releasing pressure called an earthquake.

We must remember that the question isn’t whether or not there will be a massive earthquake, but rather when it will happen in Israel.

Emergency services and governmental offices are preparing for a national scenario of an earthquake in which all the branches involved have a “frame of preparedness”. The scenario entails complex handling of a disaster which will impact different parts of the country, depending on the location of the earthquake, while other parts will be left intact or only partially damaged.
