INTEGRATING THE POLICY MODELS OF TERRORISM AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

William L. Waugh

Review of Policy Research, 1986, vol. 6, issue 2, 287-300

Abstract: International and domestic terrorism present some of the same kinds of policy imperatives as do natural and other man‐made disasters. In terms of the unpredictability and potential destructiveness of the events, the problems of preparing for, mitigating or lessening the effects of, responding to, and recovering from the disasters are essentially the same. This article suggests that the current emergency management models can be adapted to fit the circumstances created by terrorist violence. A model of antiterrorism policy interventions can be f i t into the preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery model now guiding the efforts of the Federal Emergency Management Agency and other disaster preparedness and response agencies in the United States.
