The
Israeli Home Front Command (HFC) recently inaugurated Elbit
Systems' Emergency Events Management Training System (the
System) by holding its first large scale exercise. The System
is stationed at the HFC's headquarters and supports a unified
effort to effectively mitigate any large scale emergency
event and continually prepare for the HFC's mission to prevent,
detect, and respond against all hazards.

The
System includes training capabilities for all types of forces
such as NBC (Nuclear Biological Chemical) and search and
rescue as well as the HFC's other internal training needs.
The System also provides training for all the emergency
organizations that are involved in response recovery from
disaster events in complex, heavily populated urban scenes
and strategic infrastructures.
The
innovative System simulates reliably and realistically for
integrated responses to complex emergency events occurring
simultaneously in various scenes and sites. The assorted
emergency scenarios include intervention of various rescue
and life-saving forces that need to coordinate their operations,
such as municipal forces, police, Magen David Adom (Israel's
equivalent to the Red Cross), fire fighting forces, etc.
The System also allows for rehearsing communication, C4I,
management and inter-coordination capabilities to improve
force readiness for emergency situations.
The
scenarios utilized in the System were taken from the experience
of Israel's HFC and other agencies; however, the basis of
the System is Elbit Systems' vast operational experience
in the training and simulation field, including in the military
realm its tactical battle group training, which has been
in operational service in the IDF's Ground Forces Command
for several years.
