Terrorism

If you ever suspect terrorist activity, immediately contact your local Police (911) or the FBI (412-471-2000).

Prepare!

Learn how terrorists think...

bulletThey choose targets that offer little danger to them, but have easy public access.
bulletTerrorists prefer visible targets such as airports, large cities, major international events, resorts, and high-profile landmarks.

Adopt the following techniques:

bulletBe alert and aware of your surroundings.  Terrorists offer little or no warning.
bulletTake precautions when traveling.  Be aware of conspicuous or unusual behavior, and never accept packages from strangers or leave luggage unattended.
bulletLearn where emergency exits are located.  Think ahead about how to evacuate a building, subway or congested public area in a hurry.  Learn where staircases are located.
bulletExamine your immediate surroundings.  Be aware of heavy or breakable objects that could move, fall or break in an explosion.  In an emergency quickly move away from these items.
bulletReview emergency procedures and fire exits.  Know where fire extinguishers are located.

In a building explosion, get out as quickly and calmly as possible.  If items are falling, get under a sturdy table or desk.  If there is a fire:

bulletStay low to the floor and exit the building as quickly as possible.  Cover nose and mouth with a wet cloth.
bulletApproach closed doors carefully.  Use the palm of your hand to feel the entire door.  If it is not hot, open it slowly.  If it is hot to the touch, do not open the door--seek an alternate escape route.
bulletHeavy smoke and poisonous gases collect first along the ceiling.  Stay below the smoke at all times.

If you become trapped,

bulletStay calm.
bulletStay in your area so that you don't kick up dust.  Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.
bulletTap on a pipe or wall or use a whistle so rescuers can locate you.  Shout only as a last resort!
bulletDo not attempt to rescue people inside a collapsed building. Wait for emergency personnel to arrive.

Chemical and Biological Agents

Chemical agents are poisonous gases, liquids or solids that have toxic effects on people.  Most chemical agents cause serious injuries or death.   Biological agents are organisms or toxins that have illness-producing effects.  Most chemical agents cause immediate harm, while biological agents may take time to grow and cause a disease.  It is almost impossible to know that a biological attack has occurred.
