You’re in your home or yard or car and the radio stops playing. The emergency signal sounds and you hear the announcer saying that the area where you live and work has just been hit with a massive bio-terrorist attack.
Panic sets in. The heart starts to pound. Respiration increases almost to the point of hyperventilation. The mind starts to spin. Where are my loved ones: wife, husband, kids, brother, sister, mother, father, family? I’ve got to get home or inside as fast as possible.

STOP, you are about to become another victim of the terrorists!

You can slow down and calm down, because you know that you don’t have to worry. The plans have already been laid, and all preparations are in place. You have practiced with your family and everyone knows exactly what they are to do and how to do it. The home has been prepared to be as safe as possible. The house is sealed and the air supply has been taken care of. Decontamination procedures are in place and all needed supplies are at hand. You and your family are not, and will not become, the victims of a terrorist.

By working through the plans and procedures outlined, you will have done more for the safety of your family than most people will. We do not need more martyrs or victims. The WTC provided more than enough of those.
