Understanding and Planning for School Bomb Incidents
January 14, 2009
College Park
Success in deterring, preventing, preparing for, and responding to a bombing
incident at a school relies on the establishment and maintenance of a robust
crisis and consequence management infrastructure. As part of an inter-agency
team, emergency responders must be adequately trained, equipped, exercised, and
funded, in order to ensure their ability to effectively respond and conduct
relief and recovery operations. Understanding and Planning for School Bomb
Incidents (UPSBI) will provide you with the tools and information needed to
develop or assess an existing school bomb incident response plan.
