Lev Echad

Lev Echad is Israel's national, volunteer-based rapid response corps assisting civilians impacted by local, regional and national crises. A Holistic Approach to Crisis Response | Fulfilling an Unmet Need During times of large scale crisis in Israel, the security forces and first aid/medical authorities spring into action. Security forces work to eliminate the external threat and medical authorities provide treatment to victims. Yet in any large scale crises, the lives of tens-of-thousands of civilians are also profoundly impacted by events. The sheer number of those in need and the absence of manpower, training and knowledge render municipal and welfare authorities impotent, leaving civilians to cope on their own—until now.
