title: Terrorism. Part 1: Calibrating your risks and response.
abstract: Emergency service organizations are "in combat" every day. Yet with the experience and education we have amassed over the years, we remain ill-prepared to deal with the full effects of a terrorist attack. Terrorism has many definitions. For this article we choose this one: Terrorism: The use of violence, threats, intimidation or information manipulation for revenge, politics, support of a cause or the furthering of a criminal enterprise.
