<br />Communitv ReSDOnSe to the Threat of Terrorism - A Public Entitv Risk Institute Svnmosium <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />politically embarrassing for the local government and its policy makers, However, having a <br />terrorist incident that mighl have been prevented by sound intelligence informalion would be <br />more than jusl embarrassing, In counter-intelligence activities, success is measured by what <br />DOES NOT HAPPEN! <br /> <br />The basic purpose of government is to protect lives and property, Everything else <br />springs from that fundamental duty, <br /> <br />Regarding terrorism, governmenl has a two-fold mission: <br /> <br />. PREVENTION -- Intelligence gathering. <br /> <br />. REACTION -- Responding to and investigation acts committed by terrorists, <br /> <br />Keep uppermost in mind Ihat when a terrorist incident happens, the local first <br />responders will be firsl on Ihe scene, Federal personnel may not arrive for several hours, Acts <br />of lerrorism, like all crimes, are primarily local. Recognizing that facl, the federal governmenl <br />is committing a considerable amount of money to train and assist local governments in this <br />effort. <br /> <br />Because state and local governments are charged with the primary enforcemenl and <br />public safety responsibilities related to terrorist attacks, there must be a close working <br />relationship between a local government's policy makers and operational people and wilh <br />other government agencies al all levels, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />In addition 10 other intemational terrorists, you may have in your area American <br />organizations which have strong ethnic or nationalistic ties to foreign countries and these <br />groups might pose a terrorist threat. Strong and bitter rivalries between nations or ethnic and <br />religious groups within other nations are frequently reflected in sympathetic U.S,-based <br />organizations, These domestic groups might be made up offormer nationals oflhose <br />countries and their descendants or American citizens with shared cultural, religious or <br />ideological affinity, or foreign students. <br /> <br />Visits by foreign dignitaries might also pose a danger. Assassinalions, bombings, <br />kidnapping, and other acls of violence against official or unofficial represenlalives of the rival <br />country or group while visiling the United State constitule serious lerrorist problems, even <br />though Ihe United States itself might not be the target of the hostility in those instances. But, <br />ifit happens here, it's our problem, <br /> <br />There is a need to develop a cooperative partnersmp among local, state, and federal <br />law enforcement agencies and other emergency response agencies along with a coordinated <br />incident command system. (John Kane will discuss this in his presentation,) <br /> <br />What Should You Be Doing Now? <br /> <br />What should local governments be doing in the face of these multiple threats? <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Introduction and Overview <br /> <br />3 <br />
