Against the background of the earthquake that occurred earlier in the city of Eilat: the Home Front Command is promoting a broad national program to strengthen the readiness of the Home Front to deal with a significant earthquake. The preparation focuses on three main axes: strengthening the readiness of the local authorities through the formulation of reference scenarios, trainings and exercises - building the command force and improving rescue and rescue capabilities - and strengthening the IDF's readiness to deal with the consequences of a significant earthquake.
