Explosive & incendiary weapons are the most common tool in the terrorist arsenal, accounting for more than 90% of terrorist incidents. “Terrorism: Explosive & Incendiary Weapons” outlines response guidelines for terrorist incidents that involve such weapons as pipe and fire bombs, rockets, hand grenades, suicide missions and vehicles loaded with flammable fuel. It is designed for emergency response and emergency management personnel who may be called upon to respond to an act of terrorism. The program details the different types of explosives and incendiary devices and tells how terrorists acquire and fabricate such weapons. It also discusses ‘dirty bombs,’ a device intended to contaminate wide areas with radiation. Scenarios cover both pre- and post-detonated situations, and response guidelines for both are discussed. Evacuation distances are studied, and size-up issues are examined for both scenarios. Strategic goals are prioritized.
Other topics covered include search and rescue, firefighting, dealing with mass casualties, investigation activities, and recovery. A companion Leader’s Guide that outlines a seminar including objectives, pre- and postseminar testing, classroom and field exercises, and reference materials that will be of interest to responders is a part of the package. “Terrorism: Explosive & Incendiary Weapons” was produced with the assistance of the Montgomery, AL Fire Department, Montgomery Police Department, and the Alabama Dept. of Public Safety. 30 minutes.
