Terrorism Preparedness |
|
Terrorism is the use of force or violence against persons or property in violation of the criminal laws of a nation. The purpose of terrorism is to intimidate, coerce, or cause ransom. Terrorist acts are designed to create fear in the public, show a government is powerless, and get publicity for the terrorist's causes. Your terrorism preparedness planning should include an emergency kit. Review the following information and visit our Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Planning page. |

Acts of terrorism include threats of terrorism; assassinations; kidnappings; hijackings; bomb scares and bombings; cyber attacks; and the use of biological agents, nuclear weapons and radiological dispersion devices, incendiary devices, chemical weapons or explosive devices.
It is prudent for everyone to:
- Know your routines. You know what mail you expect every month, what your neighbors look like and what cars they drive. You also know when deliveries are made in your neighborhood or office. When the routine is changed, ask questions, is this something I should report to the police?
- Be aware of your surroundings. Move or leave if you feel uncomfortable or if something doesn't "feel right."
- Be careful when traveling. Do not accept packages from strangers. Do not leave luggage unattended. Be aware of and report unusual behavior and suspicious packages to the police.
- Know where emergency exits are located in buildings you frequent. Plan how to escape in the event of an emergency.
- Be prepared with survival kits and supplies. Know how to survive without electricity, telephone, natural gas or gasoline.
- Consider that cash registers, ATMs and Internet transactions may not work.
- Assemble a 72 hour survival kit that is available in your home, office and car.
