PERSONAL EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

 

The threat of a terrorist incident is higher than ever before, where no state or individual is immune.  September 11, 2001 has confirmed the importance that preparation for terrorism should be built on systems of thinking and planning ahead.  The responsibility to meet such attacks lies with all of us, it is a shared responsibility.
