What could it be like following a terrorist attack?
Depending on the severity and type of the attack, many things could happen in your community: Many casualties could occur. Buildings and the infrastructure could suffer significant damage. Health and mental health resources in the affected communities could be strained to the limits, maybe even overwhelmed. There could be heavy law enforcement involvement at local, state and federal levels due to the event’s criminal nature. It may be necessary to evacuate an area. Workplaces and schools may be closed, and domestic and international travel may be restricted. Cleanup may take months. Public fear could continue for a prolonged period.
