Terrorism and Emergency Responder Preparedness The United States (US) is vulnerable to terrorist incidents just as every other country. Even though, the likelihood of getting in a deadly car accident is greater than being involved in a terrorist incident or attack, the emergency responder must be on alert to the possibilities of terrorism. Suicide bombings in the United States have a low probability of happening compared to Middle Eastern countries, although there is still a possibility of a suicide

Substantive Analysis: Introduction: Terrorism is used around the world to create fear and influence the public on political views (Siegel, 489). There are four views of terrorism including the psychological view, socialization view, ideological view, and the alienation view. A religious terrorist would most likely fit under the ideological view. In this view the terrorist feels the need to change a wrong opinion and believes that, because they are sacrificing themselves for something they

I truly believe that lone wolf terrorism continues to be out greatest threat currently. Their attacks don’t have the grandeur of a nuclear or chemical attack, but they seem to be the most common form of attack we are facing. Some of the tactics that lone wolf terrorists have used include

own. Thousands of people lost their lives in these two attacks alone and millions were affected. Since then, terrorism has been a clear problem that has continued to show itself over time throughout the United States. Terrorism is not limited to the United States, in fact, terrorism has been linked to different areas of the world like Pakistan, Israel, Japan, and in the Philippines. Terrorism can be anywhere from bombing, plane-crashing, or just plain assassinating, as long as their means were to get

In view of discussing things that first responders must consider when preparing for chemical, biological, radiological/nuclear, and explosive incident (CBRNE) threats has more to consider in the realms of public safety and emergency situation. To start with, every small group of individuals has the ability to cause massive damage and extensive human suffering with little or no warning. Typically, firefighters, cops, EMS staff, and regular citizen volunteers will react and be on the scene minutes

now no terrorist organization is known to have the funding or expertise needed to produce a full scale nuclear weapon so most experts agree that the likelihood of a nuclear terrorist attack is slim (Mauroni 2010, Under “Radiological and Nuclear Terrorism”). If an attack was to occur the organization would most likely buy or steal one from somewhere in Asia; a prospect unlikely due to heavy security at nuclear sites. What is more likely than a nuclear attack is the creation of a “dirty bomb”, a conventional

the United States . The creation of many anti-terrorism organizations was a clear message that this threat is beyond a single military or intelligence capacity. Our citizens demanded a strong response that would prevent any future terrorist threat. President Bush created the Department of Homeland Security as the key agency responsible for all anti-terrorism activities to protect our homeland. Government officials and law makers introduced anti-terrorism laws and measures to allow key intelligence

Module One- Define and give examples of what terrorism is and the associated risks involved for emergency responders (244 words) Terrorism is defined as “the use of force or violence against persons or property in violation of the criminal laws of the United States for the purposes of intimidation, coercion or ransom” (Terrorism, pg. 148). Acts of terrorism are designed to create fear and prevent people from performing their regular daily activities (Terrorism, pg. 148). There are many reasons why terrorists

Describe the four main types of radiological and nuclear terrorism (25 points). The four main types of radiological and nuclear terrorism are Chemical, Biological, Radiological and nuclear (CBRN) attacks. These types of attacks can have deadly consequences and significantly impact a country if an attack is carried out. Not only can causality rates be high, but there can also be significant economic consequences as well. Chemical attacks involve the use of chemical agents that are man-made gases
