- 2. What Makes an Incident Catastrophic ? Extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption Severely affecting the population, infrastructure, environment, economy, national morale, and/or government functions. Sustained national impacts over a prolonged period of time Almost immediately exceeds resources normally available to State, local, tribal, and private-sector authorities Significantly interrupts governmental operations and emergency services To such an extent that national security could be threatened The Book Says: Magnitude and Effects jgreer@alisinc.com 2 © 2013 Abrams Learning & Information Systems, Inc.

- 7. What is Design? Definition: Design is an approach to critical and creative thinking that enables a community to understand, visualize and describe complex, ill-structured problems and develop approaches to solve them. Terrorism, man-made and natural threats and hazards are generally complex, ill-structured problems. Critical thinking enables examining an environment and problem in depth and from many points of view Creative thinking involves thinking in new, innovative ways while capitalizing on imagination, insight and novel ideas Design enables detailed and crisis action planning by enabling the team to understand, visualize and describe the environment (context), the problem and potential solutions © 2013 Abrams Learning & Information Systems, Inc.

Notes de l'éditeur
- How the Federal Government deals with an IND incident, both leading up to and after an actual detonation, will have profound effects on the view and role of American governance in the future. Policy decisions taken in terms of Federal authorities; roles of State, local, and Tribal jurisdictions; and treatment of private citizens, organizations, and business will all affect the relationship between government and citizenry and have long-term impacts.Economic Impacts. The economic shock of an IND incident will dwarf that following the September 11, 2001, attacks. Not only will the actual cost of response, recovery, and remediation be measured in the hundreds of billions of dollars, there will also be cascading economic impacts that may include recession, severe adverse impact on global markets and commerce, and the opportunity costs of reacting to and overcoming the IND incident.Social and Cultural Impacts. There will be a backlash against whatever group is determined to have initiated the IND attack. The call for revenge against the group responsible will be challenging for the United States Government to overcome. The call for retribution and punishment to ensure that such an attack never occurs again will be widespread. Moreover, how individuals, families, and social groups conduct themselves after an IND attack may significantly threaten American institutions and principles, including the rule of law.Health/Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The long-term health impacts of the IND attack, including radiation-induced illnesses, will affect responders and large portions of the population across all demographic groups and across a large region for years after the event. Additionally, major portions of the United States’ population will suffer from PTSD, placing additional stresses on portions of the healthcare system.Long-Term Recovery and Remediation. The goal of restoring life to the standards and conditions that existed before the IND incident may very well never be realized. The occurrence of an IND incident on American soil will likely scar the American psyche in ways that are difficult to overcome. Unlike the air bursts at Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the radiation effects of a ground burst may be such that the detonation area cannot be reoccupied for decades. If cleanup is even possible, remediation of the affected area will be significant and will be measured in decades and trillions of dollars.
