Security
The security is managed by our local security officer (known in Hebrew by its acronym RavShatz).
He coordinates the various security issues with the regional army command, as well as taking care of
organizing the guard duty.
He is bolstered by an Emergency Response Team (ERT) made up of local residents, many of them
veterans of elite IDF combat units.
The ERT is currently in need of some new gear - and you can help!
Are you visiting Israel soon? You can bring some gear with you. The gear we need is not illegal to
transport to Israel, nor to export from the US. The only precaution is that it is in small quantites (sub-$200 US) per person,
so that it is not a problem for the Israeli Customs Authority. The gear can also be mailed (sub-$100 US).
Some of the gear we need is:

First Aid
The community is fortunate to have an ambulance on loan from Magen David Adom.
There are several members from the community who serve as volunteer ambulance drivers, after having taken the intense MDA course.
The volunteer medics are often paged to assist victims of traffic accidents on the roads surrounding the community.
Besides the ambulance volunteers, there are a few licensed paramedics in the community, as well as several men who serve as
combat medics in the IDF reserves.
We are currently soliciting donations for emergency first aid kits to supply the paramedics and some of the medics.
These
kits
contain oxygen tanks and other resuscitation gear.
