Snowfall is more common in higher elevations such as Mount Hermon, which can receive up to 1m of snow each winter. Israel is prone to extreme weather events such as floods, strong winds, dust storms, thunderstorms, hail storms, heat waves, cold waves, and sandstorms. These events can cause significant disruption to daily life as well as damage property and infrastructure. Earthquakes are also common due to Israel’s location on several major fault lines so it is important for people to be prepared for these types of events when they occur.
