How to Minimize Your Risk During a Terrorist Attack
Introduction
Terrorist attacks are unpredictable, and while it's impossible to guarantee total safety, there are steps you can take to minimize your risk. The best defense is often to avoid traveling to regions with a history of terrorist activity or kidnappings.
Key Tips for Safety
1. Plan Carefully:
- If you're in the military or traveling overseas, have an anti-terror/force protection plan in place.
2. Avoid Being an Easy Target:
- Like car thieves looking for easy opportunities, terrorists often seek accessible targets. Traveling without publishing your itinerary can reduce risk.
- Many groups are not necessarily targeting Americans, as their agendas may be regional or national.
3. Practical Safety Measures:
- Flight Choices: Opt for direct flights and avoid layovers in high-risk areas.
- Conversations: Be mindful of what you share with strangers or in public spaces.
- Airport Safety: Minimize time spent in public areas. Move swiftly from check-in to secured zones and promptly exit upon arrival.
- Appearance: Avoid luggage tags and attire that may draw unwanted attention.
- Suspicious Items: Report unattended bags to authorities and leave the area immediately.
4. Being Watchful:
- Stay alert for people who may be following you or loitering without cause.
- Report suspicious activities to the local police or the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
5. Preparation and Awareness:
- Identify safe havens such as police stations, hotels, and hospitals. Have a plan for emergencies like bombings or nearby gunfire.
- Choose your taxis randomly. Ensure the driver matches the ID on the license.
- Travel with others when possible.
6. Hotel and Transportation Safety:
- Verify the identity of visitors before opening your hotel door.
- Avoid meeting strangers in your hotel room or unknown locations.
- Decline unexpected packages.
7. Vehicle Security:
- Inspect your car for anything unusual like loose wires.
- Ensure your vehicle is well-maintained.
- Keep car windows closed in crowded areas to prevent potential threats.
8. During an Attack:
- If shooting occurs, drop to the floor and remain still until danger passes. Use solid objects as shields if available.
- Do not assist rescue efforts or pick up weapons. If you need to move, do so by crawling.
By incorporating these strategies, you can enhance your safety and reduce your risk of becoming a target. Remember, staying informed and aware is your best defense.
