EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE. IN: THE GEOGRAPHICAL DIMENSIONS OF TERRORISM
The emergency responses by federal, state, and local governments to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, highlighted the impressive ability of the emergency management community to adapt to changing circumstances during the immediate disaster period. These actions also identified areas where improvements in both preparedness and in response could be made to mitigate impacts of such events in the future. This paper discusses the geographic aspects of these lessons learned.
