Community Security
 

The Baltimore Jewish Council continues to monitor the security concerns of our community’s synagogues, schools and other organizations. In order for these institutions to be properly prepared, the Council has worked with federal, state and local officials to bring in close to three and a half million dollars to our community for security improvements. 

 

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has created informational materials on active shooter situations and how to properly respond. This is an important resource for Jewish organizations, synagogues and community centers. All of these resources are available for download by clicking the links below:

 

- Active Shooter Booklet

- Active Shooter Pamphlet

- Active Shooter Poster

- Active Shooter Pocket Card

 

High Holidays

In addition to the information on active shooters, area synagogues may want to boost their security measures around the high holidays. Our security staff have provided a high holiday security checklist to help you with this process.

 

Community Resources
Secure Community Network (SCN) was established in response to a heightened security concern among national Jewish leadership as a central address to serve and advise the American Jewish community concerning matters of communal safety, security and preparedness.

Medical Emergencies
Hatzalah Baltimore
Hatzalah was started to take advantage of those few precious minutes during which immediate and proper care may mean the difference between a patient surviving or not surviving. Although Baltimore City Fire Department provides top-notch care, they may not be in a position to respond within those crucial first few minutes. If the local medic is currently out on a different call, a second unit from a further location will be dispatched. This means that those crucial first minutes are not being utilized to begin patient care. Since our volunteers are local, we can often be there within one minute of the call coming in to our dispatchers. Our goal is to have an average on-scene arrival of less than two minutes.

 

To contact Hatzalah by phone:

410-358-0000
410-585-0054 (non-emergency number)

 

Auto Assistance

Chaverim is a group of volunteers who help people in a variety of automobile problems, home troubles and more.
