You can receive a copy of the “AACI Emergency Handbook” via email. It contains all the information you’ll ever need if, God forbid, there is another emergency, whether a terrorist attack, natural disaster or fire. It gives you links to other important websites where you can get information and aid. To download the handbook go to the AACI website: www.aaci.org.il and click on “FREE DOWNLOAD – AACI Emergency Handbook” or just click here. There they ask you to give your name and a few particulars, without obligation, and thereafter you can remove your name at any time.
You can find another good online directory for dealing with stress at www.crisis.org.il where Eli Birnbaum’s guide “Crisis or Challenge” covers many aspects of the crises and catastrophes we have to deal with and how to deal with them. If you’re not online then ask a friend to download these guides. If you know what to do you’ll be prepared.
