There is a government plan to improve the structural integrity of buildings to protect from earthquakes, but it isn't really being carried out, a top official said.
The guidelines issued by the Home Front Command cover a variety of bases, including what to do if you're inside a building, inside a vehicle or on a beach.
About 2,600 people were killed in the earthquake Monday morning. In Israel, residents of the Tel Aviv area, Beit She'an and Jerusalem reported feeling the aftershock tremors of the earthquake.
