Magen is a leading Israeli company for the training of rescue forces operating in urban destruction
and managing disaster sites. With more than 25 years of experience, we provide top level professional training at to government, military, business and civilian organizations.
The company was founded by Eran Magen, a lieutenant colonel in the reserves with rich experience in rescue tasks. Together with our senior team of experts, we instill the unique concept of the "active community" - an approach that trains citizens to be the first responding force in the event of a disaster.
Magen sends volunteer missions to disaster and earthquake events around the world. The company's instructors and managers had considerable success taking part in disaster events, among others, in Nepal, Italy, Mexico, Miami and the earthquake in Turkey in February 2023.
Magen’s training incorporates a unique operating concept that was developed based on the experience gained over the years, and which was recently adopted by the State of Israel in the form of the “Civil Defense” project – a flagship project that equips all 10th graders in the country with the knowhow to escape from urban destruction. In recent years alone, the company has established and trained a large number of rescue units in major factories and companies in Israel.
Magen is a flexible company with high learning abilities. The company has a unique ability to match the client with the most suitable training package. Offices are located in the Beit Yanai area, and next to them is a training complex for rescue from destruction, which is spread over 10 dunams and includes a lot of equipment, which allows more than ten groups to be active at the same time.

The operational concept
Building collapse events may occur due to - construction failure, terrorist incidents, war, large-scale cases of earthquakes, tsunamis, storms and other forces of nature. "The active community" - is a concept formed at Magen based on 25 years of practical experience in the field of rescue from urban destruction and contains several basic principles:
Most of the rescue operations can be performed with simple tools and manual labor.
Every trained citizen is a force multiplier and during an urban destruction event will be able to activate other citizens to carry out rescue operations.
Immediate reaction and the initial response of the citizens after a destructive event are the most important and effective.
Raising awareness, appropriate training and advance preparation significantly improve citizens' response to a destructive event and contribute to their transformation from passive to active, until the rescue forces arrive.
