The scenario is frightening. Some seven thousand killed. Many more wounded. One hundred seventy thousand left homeless as buildings collapse and infrastructure essentials such as power and water supply are damaged. The good news is that we keep hearing these warnings about earthquakes threatening Israel and are relieved to see that so far nothing of the kind has happened. The bad news is that we may grow complacent and be shocked into grim reality when it does happen. So where between these poles of fear and fatalism does Israel stand?
Guests Mr. Amir Yahav, Director of Israel’s Inter-Ministerial Steering Committee for Earthquake Preparedness, and Dr. Amos Salamon, researcher, Geological Survey of Israel. Analyst Amir Oren. Host Jonathan Hessen.
