Home Front Command develops protective beds, closets and more to better defend civilians living under rocket fire Date: 30/10/2011, 1:52 PM Author: IDF Website
Home Front Command developed several items to help civilians living under the threat of rocket fire, in addition to safe rooms. The Command recently completed the carefully tested items in the face of the conventional threats.
Among the items is a 'protected bed' that looks like a regular bed though can be transformed into a 'protected hut' during emergencies. This is a useful protection alternative in places where there is no available safe room, for example in apartment buildings.
Similarly a special closet was built that can be normally used for storage, and during emergencies can be used as a safe room.
While testing the products six months ago, they were able to defend their fully contents during a monitored explosion.
The Home Front Command is currently testing a special paint that somewhat prevents the collapse of a wall when hit by a rocket, as well as a special cloth used against collapse shock waves.
