ARTICLE SNIPPET: “An inter-office governmental committee reviewing seismographic assessments by the Geophysical Institute of Israel (GII) concluded recently that a large earthquake might hit northern Israel in the near future.
Following the report, Health Ministry Director-General Prof. Avi Yisraeli ordered hospitals in the north to implement the necessary procedures in order to be able to handle a mass casualty event.”

“Latest Earthquakes in the World - Past 7 days”
Updates appreciated.
I would think that earthquake disaster preparations would be quite similar to those for an anticipated military attack.
