Terrorism Threat:
Prepare to deal with a terrorist incident by adapting many of the same techniques used to prepare for other crises.
Be alert and aware of the surrounding area. The very nature of terrorism suggests that there may be little or no warning.

Be aware of conspicuous or unusual behavior. Do not accept packages from strangers.
Do not leave luggage unattended.
Learn where emergency exits are located.
In an unfamiliar building be aware of your immediate surroundings including your closest exits.
Be aware of heavy or breakable objects that could move, fall or break in an explosion.
People who live or work in a multi-level building can do the following: Review emergency evacuation procedures and know where fire exits are located.
Create an emergency communications plan with an out-of-town family member or friend that will be unlikely to be affected by the same emergency.
