Preparing for a terrorist event: a scenario-driven approach.
Since September 11, 2001, government agencies on all levels have focused on planning and preparing to respond to another possible terrorist attack. In addition to emergency and medical issues, these agencies must be concerned about the public's behavior and psychological response when they plan the management of a bioterrorist event. We present readers with one such possible incident, a radiological bomb scenario, with the aim of educating dentists and communicating the risks involved.
