ABSTRACT

Is it possible to prepare adequately for terror attacks? There is obvious benefit to assembling important agencies to coordinate responses during the first critical moments of an attack. Most emergency plans dedicate a significant portion of their content to responses. The sad fact of those plans is that they prepare for responding during or after the attack has already happened. By definition, the emergency response is NOT an act of prevention or mitigation of the crime and terror. In truth, there are very few critical infrastructure protection models available for antiterrorism prevention.
