Current day terrorism is increasingly motivated by body count, and more often than not is religiously or ethnically motivated. While politically motivated terrorism tends to limit the amount of violence in order to ensure that it does not impact supporters' sympathy for the cause, today's nihilistic terrorism is more simply focused on massive death and the destruction of property. Based on this, it seems very likely that future terrorists will use nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons rather than traditional explosives or firearms. As these attacks increasingly occur within the borders of the United States, the emergency responder will be the first line of defense.Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Terrorism: Emergency Response and Public Protection provides emergency responders with guidance on: ·The types of weapons of mass destruction that could be used in a terrorist attack·Mechanisms by which terrorists could disperse various types of nuclear, chemical, or biological agents·The types of conventional explosives that terrorists could use to disperse these agents·The routes by which one may be exposed to these weapons·The types of health hazards that may result from exposure to these weapons·How safety professionals can minimize exposure to these weapons·Potential medical treatment options for those exposed to these weapons·How to best increase one's chances of surviving a nuclear explosion ·Emergency preparedness measures for a variety of settings·How to prioritize injuries ·How to decontaminate personnel prior to medical treatment·Radiation exposure guidelines ·Training guidelinesIn addition to concise but comprehensive coverage of various types of weapons of mass destruction, the authors give you sound advice and simple actions that can reduce risks and avoid panic in the event of a terrorist attack.
