In the Event of Terrorism
Prepare to deal with a terrorist incident by adapting many of the same techniques used to prepare for other crisis.
- Be alert and aware of the surrounding area. The very nature of terrorism suggests that there may be little or no warning.
- Take precautions when traveling.
- Be aware of conspicuous or unusual behavior. Do not accept packages from strangers.
- Do not leave luggage unattended.
- In an unfamiliar building be aware of your immediate surroundings, including your closest exits.
- People who live or work in a multilevel building should review emergency evacuation procedures and know were fire exits are located.
- Create an emergency communication plan with an out-of-town family member or friend who is unlikely to be effected by the same emergency.
