"In times of emergency Israel’s civilian population suffers. The emergency services are hard-pressed to  fulfill all their tasks; ranging from emergency life saving missions to providing civilians with essential supplies, supporting civilians living in bomb shelters, and providing  physical and emotional support.  We must prepare in advance so we will be ready for the next emergency!  (from www.evp.org.il)

 

The EVP recruits professional firefighters, rescue personnel and maintenance engineers who are willing to come to Israel in times of emergency and peace to help us save lives.

The “Firefighting and Rescue Units” of the EVP are the first ever units of their kind that consist of individuals from around the world who come together as active emergency volunteers in Israel’s firefighting and rescue services.

 

Volunteer teams will be deployed and work with existing Israeli Firefighting stations in those areas of Israel where the need is greatest.

 

We are seeking professional and volunteer firefighters and trained maintenance personnel, in particular mechanics experienced in the maintenance and repair of heavy vehicles and machinery.

 

Volunteers can choose to be activated in times of emergency and/or as part of our "Operation Ready” missions.Members of the EVP who are in Israel on a private visit can also volunteer to work at an Israeli Fire and Rescue station." (from www.evp.org.il)
