Emergency Activation

First responders will be activated in the event of one of the following three emergency situations:

• Major conflicts – where the Israeli home front is subjected to military attack by or from neighboring countries

• Localized incidents such as acts of terror involving mass casualties

• Natural disasters – Earthquakes, floods and other natural catastrophes

Activation in an emergency will be facilitated directly by the Israeli emergency services and the municipalities.

Upon receipt of the request to activate first responders, we will begin an activation procedure working through team leaders. Teams will be deployed in accordance with a predetermined placement schedule, as well as the team’s desire to be amongst the first, second or third waves of units to be deployed.

First responders should be aware that there may be circumstances where it will not be possible to make the trip to Israel or where the Israeli government may advise or even require foreign nationals to evacuate the country.
