4.9/5 (28801 ratings)

Description:Terrorism is no longer something that only happens to other countries. Attacks on US soil in the 1990 's brought the reality of terrorism home and the Sept 11th tragedy let us know that the United States is a high priority target. The goal of today 's terrorist is body count, and while traditional bombings have served them in the past, the allure of killing thousands of people with a very small amount of biological or chemical agent will prove irresistible. Our only defense on the front line is a well-prepared emergency response team. The key to an effective terrorist response is to understand and contain the hazardous materials involved. Counter-Terrorism for Emergency Responders, Second Edition meticulously details the characteristics, actions, identification, containment, and emergency treatment of all types of agents.
