In case you've forgotten, here's how long Israelis have to take cover from rocket fire. For those who don't read Hebrew, it's color coded and all the double digit numbers are seconds, while the single digit numbers are minutes.

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com

Its a joke. The IDF bureaucrats who came up with those numbers never tested them in real world conditions.
But don't you have the feeling they won't put their own families to that test?
What could go wrong indeed
Do they have all this info on charts in English? I know someone who was baracaded in their house in the north in summer '06. An aliya ulpan graduate. Had a radio, but couldn't understand the very fast talking announcer, so didn't know what was happening. Did have internet, but of course it was slow to be updated during the rocket attacks.
Have they started up an English channel for emergency verbiage?
