Terrorism – How to Get Ready Now

With almost daily media reports of potential attacks against U.S. targets by Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups, the publication advises that now, more than ever, organizations, their security operations and all Americans should be ready and prepared.

The booklet, drafted by the Department of Homeland Security, offers some sound basic suggestions that organizations and individuals should consider implementing. Written in a rather frank, matter-of-fact tone, the guide states that terrorists are working to obtain biological, chemical, nuclear and radiological weapons, and that the possibility of another attack on the U.S. is very real. It also says that with a little planning and common sense, organizations, their security operations and individuals can be better prepared for the unexpected.
