By using easily customized templates for the screening process, valuation of a critical asset as a target, vulnerability analysis, security procedures, emergency response procedures, and training programs, the book offers a practical step-by-step process to help reduce risk. Each different type of terrorism is briefly discussed—however, the book focuses on those potential attacks that may involve weapons of mass destruction. There is a discussion of what physical and administrative enhancements can be implemented to improve a facility's ability to devalue, detect, deter, deny, delay, defend, respond, and recover to a real or threatened terrorist attack—whether it be at a facility, or in the community. Techniques on how personnel safety and security can be improved through the implementation of counter-terrorism programs are also outlined.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn overview of the major counter-terrorism regulations and standards are presented, along with the significant governmental efforts that have been implemented to help prevent terrorist attacks and foster preparedness at both private and public sector facilities and for personnel.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding, Assessing, and Responding to Terrorism, Second Edition\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpdates existing material, plus includes several new topics that have emerged including information on new international terrorist groups, new terrorist tactics, cyber terrorism, and Regulations and Standards\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutlines techniques for improving facility and personnel safety and security through the implementation of counter-terrorism programs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnites the emergency response\/public sector community with the private sector over infrastructure protection, thus allowing for easier communication between them\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes questions\/exercises at the end of each chapter and a solutions manual to facilitate its use as a textbook\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding, Assessing, and Responding to Terrorism, Second Edition\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-have reference for private and public sector risk managers, safety engineers, security professionals, facility managers, emergency responders, and others charged with protecting facilities and personnel from all types of hazards (accidental, intentional, and natural).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 The Terrorist Threat 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 What Is Terrorism?

The new edition of \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding, Assessing, and Responding to Terrorism\u003c\/i\u003e updates existing material and includes several new topics that have emerged, including information on unconventional weapons and new international terrorist groups as well as a new chapter on Regulations and Standards.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vulnerability analysis methodology, consisting of several steps—which include the techniques necessary to conduct a vulnerability analysis—is introduced and applied through several sample scenarios. By using easily customized templates for the screening process, valuation of a critical asset as a target, vulnerability analysis, security procedures, emergency response procedures, and training programs, the book offers a practical step-by-step process to help reduce risk. Each different type of terrorism is briefly discussed—however, the book focuses on those potential attacks that may involve weapons of mass destruction. There is a discussion of what physical and administrative enhancements can be implemented to improve a facility's ability to devalue, detect, deter, deny, delay, defend, respond, and recover to a real or threatened terrorist attack—whether it be at a facility, or in the community. Techniques on how personnel safety and security can be improved through the implementation of counter-terrorism programs are also outlined.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn overview of the major counter-terrorism regulations and standards are presented, along with the significant governmental efforts that have been implemented to help prevent terrorist attacks and foster preparedness at both private and public sector facilities and for personnel.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding, Assessing, and Responding to Terrorism, Second Edition:\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUpdates existing material, plus includes several new topics that have emerged including information on unconventional weapons, new international terrorist groups, new terrorist tactics, cyber terrorism, and Regulations and Standards\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutlines techniques for improving facility and personnel safety and security through the implementation of counter-terrorism programs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnites the emergency response\/public sector community with the private sector over infrastructure protection, thus allowing for easier communication between them\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes questions\/exercises at the end of each chapter to facilitate its use as a textbook\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderstanding, Assessing, and Responding to Terrorism, Second Edition\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-have reference for private and public sector risk managers, safety engineers, security professionals, facility managers, emergency responders, and others charged with protecting facilities and personnel from all types of hazards (accidental, intentional, and natural).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990426271973,"sku":"NP9781119237785","price":136.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119237785.jpg?v=1761787780","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/understanding-assessing-and-responding-to-terrorism-isbn-9781119237785","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
