(haipo) - As the escalation on the northern border increases and the fear of an outbreak of an all-out war, or at least a wider one, the issue of emergency preparedness and preparedness is discussed more and more, and so, of course, also in the ultra-orthodox sector, which uses slightly different means than those known to the general population, to spread the essential information at this time .
How, then, does ultra-orthodox society prepare for the situation, especially in light of the fact that the majority of this public owns kosher phones, so that it is not exposed to the popular media, news and messages flowing to the general public through digital means. How is the ultra-Orthodox public updated on the security situation? How are the relevant defensive instructions received? By what means is it updated in real time?
are prepared in a slightly different way from the general sector
"Since the ultra-orthodox society is not exposed to the media, we prepare in a slightly different way than the general sector," says Abrimi Weinberg, coordinator of volunteers at the Mishmar organization. "The organization initiated the publication of self-defense and emergency preparedness instructions in the buildings of the ultra-orthodox concentration," says Abrimi. "Regarding shelters or protected spaces", he says, "in most of the new buildings (since 1985) there is either a shelter or an MMC or a MMD."
What do we do in real time?
Weinberg: "Although the majority of the ultra-Orthodox public owns kosher phones, that's why the municipality of Haifa opened an emergency line, through which emergency instructions are transmitted via voice messages, including all the necessary information. Regarding Shabbat, there are many in the ultra-Orthodox sector who volunteer in the emergency organizations and have a phone and a walkie-talkie for the purpose of psychological monitoring, so That everyone will be updated in real time."
Dozens of volunteers joined
Weinberg says further: "Member of the city council, Rabbi Avraham Stern, made sure to bring to Haifa the 'Mishmer' organization established by 'Hashomer HaHavid' which provides a response to neighborhood security in the sector and in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhood in Hadar. Almost every evening a patrol car with volunteers goes out to patrol the neighborhood into the night and thus instills calm and confidence in the residents of the ultra-orthodox neighborhood. In recent times, with all the pressure surrounding the war on the northern front, dozens of volunteers have been mobilized to help with anything."
"Currently, they are trying to introduce the organization as a ``community emergency unit'' (community emergency unit) in the municipality of Haifa. In recent days, many efforts have been made to define the organization's volunteers as emergency volunteers of the municipality of Haifa, and this week the volunteers even made a visit to the HML of the Hadar region. Together with the security coordinator of the municipality, Mr. Yair Zilberman, the commander of the military, Mr. Yaakov Broder and the volunteer manager of the municipality of Haifa, Keren Shagi, in order to learn how the systems work during an emergency."
Important tips for preparation:
- Evacuate common shelters and shelters from all belongings.
- Enter the municipality's emergency phone number into contacts.
- Purchase basic equipment for the MMD and continue to pray.
The majority of the ultra-orthodox public does not own a kosher device
At home there is an iPhone or any type of smart device and also many ultra-Orthodox homes have a computer for work (in the eyes)
So Mr. Abrimi, don't make us regret it.
The public is not stupid.
When will they start taking down trees and bushes that have grown wild and hide lighting and the bus store and the damage to business stores is accumulating. It doesn't matter if the missile doesn't fall, the trees are scarier than Gaula Street and beyond.
Recruits to the IDF stop evading
When you collect bodies like the Zaka organization then maybe the ultra-Orthodox will mobilize.
In the meantime, wipe the lard off your lips.
I just didn't understand where the HML was and what they did when there was a lynching in Rehovot in 2021 for two weeks and people were afraid to leave their homes because of the firewood they burned and set on fire. Where was the municipality and the security volunteers then?
