Recent worldwide events should serve as a stark reminder that despite the greatest efforts of the military and law enforcement, threats from terrorists will continue, putting us all at risk. Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) represent the greatest security challenge facing local, state and federal emergency responders. Effective training to prevent and respond to acts of terrorism is the first line of defense in protecting communities and keeping civilians and responders safe.
