Emergency Response to Terrorism, Job Aid - Edition 2.0 from FEMA
This document is designed to assist the first responder from the fire, EMS, Haz mat, and law enforcement disciplines. This includes both tactical and strategic issues that range from line personnel to unit officers and up to and including the initial Incident Commander (IC) (i.e., battalion chief, etc.).

The document is not a training manual. It is expected that personnel already have appropriate training and experience to address the identified tactics. It should serve as a reminder for those who already have completed the appropriate level of tactical or strategic training, such as the Emergency Response to Terrorism courses developed for classroom and self-study. The document is designed to assist emergency response personnel in identifying a possible terrorist/ Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) incident and implementing initial actions.

The document identifies both strategic and tactical considerations that should be assessed within the first hour of an incident. Appropriate tactics would then be implemented as required.
