Terrorism Handbook for Operational Responders

This short, easy-to-read guide is a "must" for all emergency personnel who are called on to respond to a terrorist event.

Users are taught how to make suitable decisions in the many and varied situations that may confront them -- toxic materials, antipersonnel weapons, terrorist demands, for example.

In addition to identifying hazards, appropriate methods of overcoming them, and delivering emergency services under adverse conditions, the handbook discusses the vital process of control of working units.

The complex interdependency of law enforcement and fire rescue agencies and the necessity for their unified command are described in detail.
