Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence by a person or
group. The goal is to intimidate or coerce societies or governments.
Terrorism is often used for political or ideological reasons. These
attacks can take many forms. They could happen anytime and in any
place.
Terrorism thrives on fear. By planning how to respond to a terrorist
attack, you can greatly improve your chances of survival. You can
also lessen the impact of the attack by reducing the fear in the after-
math.
