What are we focusing on?

As an Israeli and global knowledge center in the field of emergency response and preparedness, ITC works in close cooperation with social activists, organizations, businesses and local and governmental authorities to develop, instill and encourage psychosocial skills and knowledge, manage emergency situations and provide tools for self-help and burnout prevention.We respond in real time to global crisis, through training missions, supporting local intervention teams and providing tools that assist with community rehabilitation.

Our working principles

During routine we study and research content, enhance work methodology and develop the models based on the knowledge and experience gained in the Israeli reality. This knowledge is used for training within various organizations, who in turn share that knowledge, thereby contributing to the strengthening of their organizational resilience and that of the wider community.
