Terrorism
Preparing for Terrorism
Wherever you are, be aware of your surroundings. The very nature of terrorism suggests there may be little to no warning.
Take precautions when traveling. Be aware of conspicuous or unusual behavior. Do not accept packages from strangers. Do not leave luggage unattended. Unusual behavior, suspicious packages and strange devices should be promptly reported to the police or security personnel.
Do not be afraid to move or leave if you feel uncomfortable or if something does not seem right.
Learn where emergency exits are located in buildings you frequent. Take note of where exits are when you enter unfamiliar building. Also, find out where staircases are located.
Assemble a disaster supply kit at home and learn first aid.
Wash with soap and water immediately if you were exposed to a chemical.

Seek medical attention.
Notify local law enforcement or health authorities.
Biological Attack
A biological attack may not be immediately obvious. Patterns of unusual illness or a surge of sick people seeking medical treatment may be the first sign of an attack.
If you believe there has been a suspicious release of biological substances:
Quickly get away from the area.
Cover your mouth and nose with layers of fabric, such as a t-shirt or towel.
Wash with soap and water.
Contact local law enforcement or health authorities.
