Boston Marathon Bombing

Start by conducting research around the United States for examples of mitigation and prevention against terrorism. When looking for terrorism in your community, consider examples such as an active shooter threat or actual occurrence or a bomb threat or occurrence. Focus on the Boston Marathon bombing, prevention methods used in museums, stadiums, and the city. Using what you learned about your community and what you learned about past disasters from this course, write a case study, a minimum of four pages in length, that addresses the following points. •    Explain what has been done with regard to mitigation, recovery, and/or response efforts within your community or the community you researched. Mitigation examples include security, cameras, and metal detectors. •    Explain who conducted these efforts and the vulnerabilities they faced in their community, and include the role these individuals or groups play with mitigating, responding, and/or recovering from the risk. •    Research the Boston Marathon Bombing. Explain the mitigation and recovery efforts. •    What can your community, or the community you researched, learn from past disasters? •    Consider the types of communication would need to be used in the event of a terror attack. •    Discuss the organizations that would be involved, the forms of media that would be used, and the types of communication that would need to be provided to the public.
