Israel’s military and civilian systems may have been prepared for a disaster the magnitude of October 7, but did the response match the preparation? And how is the state faring as it continues to manage the ongoing crisis?

In this episode of The Global Connection, Larry French, a master’s student at Tel Aviv University (TAU), interviews Bruria Adini, the head of TAU’s international Master of Disaster Management program. The two discuss ways to characterize the crisis, how different levels of society and government mobilized and responded to October 7, and what – from a disaster management perspective – the state should prioritize moving forward.
