Threat assessment as it pertains to terrorist attacks. This kicks off a series I’m doing on how to assess the threats in your area and what can affect you. This subject can and will affect everyone however. Given what we face in the world today and what’s happened in the past few months and years, I think we can all agree that terrorist threats did not stop after 9-11. In this episode I discuss how to prepare for terrorism and give you my definition of what terrorism is.
Highlights:
- “Terror” comes from a Latin terrere meaning “to frighten.”
- Terrorism is an act, not an ethnic classification.
- Quote from Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security Secretary,
“Violent Islamic terrorism … was part and parcel of the Ft. Hood killings,” Napolitano told the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday morning. “There is violent Islamic terrorism, be it Al Qaeda in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen or anywhere else, [and] that is indeed a major focus of this department and its efforts.”
- Leadership failure, 5 key events to watch after a disaster.
- Audio of General Jerry Boykin
- Immigration, does it make us more vulnerable?
- Financial Terrorism
- Identity Theft
- Cyber Terrorism
- The Third Jihad
