Mobile shelter, Residential protected space and their importance in every home in Israel

In recent months, the State of Israel has experienced an exhausting, difficult and never-ending war against the terrorist organization Hamas, which operates directly from the Gaza Strip and launches thousands of missiles continuously all over the center and south of the country.

In a large part of the cities that are attacked during the war, there is no close and close possibility of protection for the residents/citizens.  

Many times these are very old buildings and some of them do not have a shelter in the building, a shelter around the neighborhood/street and even a safety net that can usually be found in newer buildings and private homes.

Today, with the development of construction methods, it is possible to purchase a high-quality shield or shield in a simple way with fast delivery times depending on the size you have at home or in your business.

One of the most advanced and significant methods in the construction industry is virtual simulation. This is a digital imaging through which you can see the

The physical and functional characteristics, allowing architects, engineers and construction professionals to see what the final product of the project will look like.

This technology optimizes the construction and planning process, reduces errors and improves communication between all the professionals involved in the project.

The planning and construction process becomes more effective, saves budgets and costs, shortens work processes and optimizes resource management.

How will you know which means of protection is more suitable for you?

First we will define each of them and later we will understand what are the different differences between them.

Mobile shelter:
 

A shelter is a structure made of reinforced concrete or a material with similar properties, it comes in several sizes and shapes and is placed in various public areas such as: parks, shopping centers, bus stations when there is not enough time to run to shelters. Its main purpose is to provide protection as much as possible and reduce the damage from the page and the fragments. In recent years it can also be found in a large number of households throughout the country.

Residential protected space:

The MMD is a residential protected space made of reinforced concrete only, and provides protection against various threats, for example: missile attacks, rockets and also against biological and chemical threats. The MMD can also be placed in several public places, including: gardens, schools, offices, shopping malls and more.

Add to that the fact that in private homes it can be used as a room for anything and even a room that can be worked in such as an office, clinic.

Add to that the fact that in private homes it can be used as a room for anything and even a room that can be worked in such as an office, clinic.

The reason that the use of MMD began and became widespread was due to the Gulf War that broke out in 1991, and led to the breach of the dam on the issue. The Gulf War illustrated how important the field of protection is in the public and private sphere.

Nevertheless, as mentioned above, many houses in Israel are still not protected and their protection time is extremely short, which often causes them to rely mainly on luck and can endanger the lives of many families.

When you look back a little, that is, four and a half months to the iron sword war that suddenly emerged on 7/10 and stunned everyone who lives in the State of Israel and in the world, caught many citizens unprepared, and without various means of protection such as MMD, shielding and shelter.

The purpose of the protected areas is to provide protection against missile attacks, which often the warning time we receive is short and on the order of 10 seconds to a minute (depending on the region)

The security guard can be one of the rooms in the house, or if we are driving in a public area at a certain point to which we are often directed by a sign indicating: protected area.

Each of them for the duration of the fighting and during an emergency can help as much as possible in preserving human life.

The Residential protected space or the Mobile shelter provide a certain response even to an unconventional attack, therefore it is very important to make sure that there are ventilation openings of the appropriate size for air entry and on the other hand a strong seal in order to prevent the penetration of shrapnel in situations of missile impact or the penetration of toxic gases. Therefore and accordingly, it is mandatory Install air filters in case there will be a prolonged stay when it comes to any kind of attack, whether it is defense against missiles or even biological means of all kinds.

Over the years, as a result of the upgrading of technology that brought with it smarter, stronger and faster missiles with a variable range depending on the location, this led to the fact that it is important to be protected in almost every area where we are throughout the country.

The goal of Mobile shelter and Mobile shelter is to provide protection wherever we are, but it is important to pay attention to the number of key differences between them.

Here are some of them that can make a little order as to what might be more suitable for you:

  • Placement in a customer’s home/public space:
    A shield can and should be placed after preparing a pre-prepared and suitable area, and its installation is carried out prefabricated, that is, from the factory to the customer’s home. Its technical specifications are slightly different from the specifications of the Residential protected space (dimensions / thickness of walls, etc.) The placement of a Residential protected space, on the other hand, requires comprehensive planning that includes the inspection of the building and even its renovation. Today, companies have begun to manufacture mobile and outdoor monitors in the factory and also to the customer’s home.
  •  Approval of standards – Residential protected space is a vehicular protected area that is approved by the Home Front Command, while Mobile shelter depends on receiving specific approval from the Home Front Command, without the approval it is not a legal alternative solution.
  • The size of the structure – a Mobile shelter can be built according to certain dimensions, and in contrast, a Residential protected space must be built according to the dimensions established by the Home Front Command in a uniform size.
  • Transporting or transferring – the traditional Residential protected space was built as part of the house, but as we mentioned in the previous sections, today it is possible to purchase portable Residential protected space and place them in the yard / field. In addition, today there are other methods for turning an ordinary room into a living room. A Mobile shelter, on the other hand, is only a walk-in structure that can be transported in a relatively easy and simple way using a crane from place to place.
  • Costs – the price range between them changes depending on the upgrades and additions, where the price of the MMD will sometimes be twice the price of the shield.
    In order to choose the right protection method for you, it is important to make sure through comprehensive planning in advance, which includes consultation with a company that understands the field and knows how to adapt to you, whether you are interested in means of protection for your private home or for the business you run.
