Th e fourth method is Management and Education. Th e purpose of this system
is to mitigate the eff ects of a terrorist event to limit impact on the population and
the infrastructure. In addition, it is intended to preserve evidence to identify the
participants in a plot, to identify system weaknesses and correct them, and attempt,
through education and preparation, to provide better responses in the future.
Th e strategy is two-pronged. Th e management portion of the method of terrorism
abatement is to minimize the loss of life, as well as the damage to infrastructure
and systems arising from a successful terrorist attack. Th e second prong, the education
of the population, is intended to provide defensive strategies in the event of an
incident. Th e secondary goal of education is to bring awareness to the importance
of disaster management, an equally important though daunting and fl eeting task.
While no one wishes the terrorist act to occur, and there is a realization that the
mitigation eff orts will do nothing for the initial casualties, the reality is that there
will be terrorist acts that ignore the negotiations and diplomacy, break through the
military defenses, evade the security and intelligence, and will be consummated.
Mitigation allows for the greatest survival potential and the ability to continue
daily functions or to continue to defend ourselves from future attacks.
Presently, too high a percentage of the fi nancial resources are being spent on the
second and third methods: military actions and security. While no one can argue
about the need for both categories to be robust, the priority of this philosophy
should not negate or prevent the implementation of the fi rst method, negotiation
and diplomacy.
Nor should the priority of funding be at the exclusion of the fourth method of
management. Suppose the military action is the fi rst action taken, thus precluding
or limiting the ability to negotiate; and this action fails to eliminate the entire terrorist
organization, and fails to ensure that no second generation of terrorists will
arise from the ashes of the fi rst. Th en the security measures and intelligence eff orts
fail to identify each and every terrorist plot and prevent all incursions onto our vast
soil. And fi nally, without management dollars, we cannot adequately protect the
citizens from greater harm when that terrorist attack occurs.
