With northern Israel under near constant rocket fire, community preparedness can be the difference between life and death. IsraAID teamed up with the Israeli Association of Community Centers - החברה למתנ"סים הארצית - to establish 140 local emergency response teams across the north. Last month, journalist Efrat Lachter traveled to communities across the Galilee to hear and share their stories. This program is made possible thanks to the support of Schusterman Family Philanthropies and Jewish Fede

Our Emergency Command Center launched a swift water rescue response at 5:35 p.m. for a report of someone possibly submerged in the waterway near Edinger Avenue and Red Hill Avenue in Tustin. Our response included swift water rescue resources upstaffed specifically for this weather event as part of our commitment to emergency preparedness. Ultimately, no victims were located and the reports were determined be unfounded. Thank you Tustin PD and OCSD for your assistance. | Orange County Fire Author
