Tips for Coping with a Terrorist Attack

If a Terrorist Attack Should Occur
Be alert and aware in the event of a terrorist attack. Here is advice for various scenarios:

Biological

• Leave area as quickly as possible covering mouth and nose with layers of fabric to filter air but allow breathing.
• If exposed discard clothes as soon as possible; wash with soap and water; seek medical attention.

Dirty Bomb

• Move as far below ground as possible.
• It's important to protect yourself from a nuclear attack with as thick a protective shield as you can find.

Chemical

• Be aware if people around you are suffering from watery eyes, choking, difficulty breathing, loss of coordination.
• Be aware of sick or dead birds or small animals.
• Leave area as quickly as possible.
• If the chemical attack is inside a building, move as far away from the contaminated area as possible, creating a barrier between yourself and contaminated air.
