Recognizing Terrorist Events
Recognition is the most important factor in an effective response
Late recognition places responders in jeopardy
Must use “clues” or “mental triggers”
![Page 20: Emergency Response to Terrorism TC: Emergency Medical Services Unit 1:Introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051115/5697bfa71a28abf838c99094/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
