EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE. IN: THE GEOGRAPHICAL DIMENSIONS OF TERRORISM

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.
