In anticipation of potential blackouts, Magen David Adom, the ambulance service, has been taking proactive measures to ensure that their medical teams can respond swiftly and efficiently in various situations. These blackouts can result from natural disasters, earthquakes, extreme weather conditions or even war. To avoid delays in responding to emergencies, MADA has been preparing for alternative means of communication to coordinate their teams and manage emergency calls during multiple simultaneous incidents.
To prepare its employees and volunteers for any eventuality, MADA conducts exercises in different cities and towns across the country. Recently, exercises were carried out in Harish and Modi’in where scenarios involving responding to wounded individuals from rocket attacks in areas without power or electronic communications were practiced. Additionally, Magen David Adom has purchased and installed generators, backup power systems and medical equipment to ensure operations can continue during a blackout.
Magen David Adom specialists working at field stations are being trained to work under interruptions in power and communication. By taking necessary steps ahead of time, MADA is ensuring that they can continue providing life-saving services even during a blackout.
