Planning for a Terrorist Emergency

The disaster prevention work of universities and universities in the USA has changed drastically. Prior to September 11, higher education institutions had planned only natural disasters. America 's soil has become less secure than before. In addition to preparation of tornado, preparation of hurricane, preparation for earthquake, preparing for fire, it is also necessary to prepare for terrorist attack. Natural disasters are natural disasters that may deprive human life or destroy wealth. By contrast, terrorist attacks are artificial events that deprive people of life and destroy property.

This guide covers the development and maintenance of emergency action plans (EOP) terrorism additional provisions (TIA) for managing the outcome of terrorist incidents including WMD 1 and other terrorist attacks in state and regional emergencies It aims to support planning personnel. . It is now clear that the extent of potential damage is limited to the imagination of terrorists, as evidenced by terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, DC on 11th September 2001. Given the creativity of people committed to committing acts of terrorism, the planner faces the challenge of planning to deal with something that goes out of the imagination "out of the box". In this guide, the planner needs to consider a wide range of terrorist incidents, including attacks on infrastructure and electronic information systems that may affect human life, health, and safety. Table A shows the recommended format of TIA.

In response to terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, Congress and President Bush decided to consolidate numerous federal emergency plans into a unified domestic response plan. The end result of these efforts is the National Response Plan (NRP) which has established broad authority for institutions dealing with emergencies and large-scale disasters. Due to the implementation of NRP during the Hurricane Katrina period, Congress enacted Post Hurricane Katrina Management Reform Act (P. L. 109-295) to integrate the authority of preparation and response. Legislation instructs the Department of Homeland Security to issue a follow-up plan called the National Response Framework (NRF) to the NRP. The NRF, implemented in March 2008, established a new approach to coordinate federal and non-federal financial resources and entities. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claims that NRF is an improvement of NRP
