Responding to the
Threat of Terrorism
All terrorist acts are
crimes…
Once a terrorist incident is
underway, the success rate is nearly 75%.
In suicide attacks, the success rate is over 96%.
Terrorists do not share our
moral or ethical perspectives. They
have no regard for innocent bystanders.
Trends in terrorist
incidents…
Terrorist incidents will
continue to grow in scope and magnitude.
Targets of Terrorism
The Homeland Security
Advisory System is a means to disseminate information regarding the risk of
terrorist acts to Federal, State, and Local authorities, and to the American
people.
Future Challenges
Training and equipping first

If the disaster occurs near
your home while you are there…
The most common emergency
protective actions are evacuation and shelter-in-place.
If you are asked to
evacuate…
If there’s an explosion:
If there’s fire:
If you are trapped in
debris:
