As we have seen, again, in the last week, there is a great chance of a strong earthquake in Israel, especially in the north of the country and in Eilat.

Retired State Comptroller Yosef Shapira has published a scathing report on the state's readiness for earthquakes, and a protection plan has not yet been formulated.

"There is a great chance of a strong earthquake in Israel, in which hundreds will be killed. The question is when and where," says Nir Shmol, CEO of Snir, a company that specializes in residential and commercial real estate marketing, in Israel and abroad. its residents, so i public must take responsibility into their own hands and force decision-makers to come out with a plan. "opposite calls this program" Price defensive ", and in which they do potential apartment buyers practical solutions for protecting houses, schools and kindergartens to withstand earthquakes.

Mall features Inspect the property before purchasing through an engineer, add a security guard, apply public pressure and more (his list of tips - below).

But before we move on to personal protection, let's talk a little bit about the country's role in unpreparedness.

"An extreme solution may be needed"

"TMA 38 did not do its job," says Benny Perry, an architect at V5 Architects. Therefore another way must be found. The other way is for the government to decide on a budget for strengthening buildings in risk areas, that its funding will be from a fund from housing marketing revenues all over the country. A certain budget will go to risk cities based on very clear criteria. "Lower budget respectively."

Architect Uri Halevi from Orbach Halevi Architects strengthens: "TMA 38 has proven itself only in places where real estate is strong and has failed in the far periphery. The state is required to develop an incentive alternative to strengthen tens of thousands of buildings in the periphery. To extract condensation and strengthen dilapidated structures. "

Buying an apartment?

Architect Eyal Apple concludes: "The situation in the country is catastrophic in terms of readiness. There are over 80,000 buildings that were not planned for earthquakes, with at least 20 percent of them sitting in the periphery on the Syrian-African rift. The TMA 38 plan failed to address the issue. Promised for the purpose.

The government along with the authorities need during emergency action to take urgent action to prepare for this event, through projects of evacuation construction, urban renewal and declaration of dangerous buildings in the periphery in order to expedite the process.

The state should take the issue into its own hands and not leave it to the private market that does not address the issue due to economic inefficiency.

Action must be taken in favor of urgent legislation and the establishment of municipal companies, an administration or some other body that will manage the care of these buildings.

In private hands it will not happen. "

• Inspect the property before purchasing it

  - before purchasing an apartment it is important to bring an engineer who will inspect the building, whether it has undergone earthquake reinforcements.

  Those who live in a building built before 1980 probably have not been reinforced and need to take care of that.

• Add security to the apartment

  - security is not only protection against missiles, it is also protection against earthquakes, and staying at the time of the earthquake protects the tenants.

  Buildings built after 1990 are already protected.

• Raising the issue to public awareness - we are witnessing the Surrogacy and Discrimination Law that was passed in the Knesset and has caused a great deal of controversy.

  The issue of earthquakes is no less important, it is about human life!

  Take to the streets and fight for your safety.

• Harness the leadership of the parents

  - apply public pressure on your life and that of your child before education, before the price per occupant, before surrogacy and more.

• Elections in local authorities

  - We are in the year of local elections, you will put pressure on the candidates in the cities where you live.

  Require that their election platform deal with the issue of earthquake protection and not just in Tiberias or Eilat, it can happen anywhere in the country.

• Check the kindergarten and school before registering

  - it is important to visit the kindergarten or school next to the apartment you want to purchase and make sure they are prepared for earthquakes, talk to the kindergarten teachers or teachers to ask questions, there is no good in sight.

• For those living on the upper floors

  - during an earthquake when you are on a high floor and it is impossible to evacuate the building within seconds, it is recommended to enter a protected space or the stairwell.

  In cases where these are also not available, you can hide under a door frame or table.
