Module 4. Dr. Nadav Morag’s final lecture in this four-part series focuses on the societal and emergency responder environments in Israel. Preparedness and response efforts in Israel is traditionally multifaceted; as it prepares the public, and prepares the emergency responder community. Each sect strategizes for both long-term and short-term precautionary measures. The HFC (Home Front Command) is introduced as Israel’s central organization for the preparation of the public, along with the police, EMS, fire, public health and hospital systems, and public transportation system, among others. Dr. Morag suggests that the battle with terrorists will largely be decided by the targeted society’s resilience (or lack thereof), and therefore much effort in Israel is put into creating and maintaining that resiliency.
