PREPARING SMALL COMMUNITIES FOR TERRORIST ATTACKS

Is the terrorist threat against the United States (domestically and internationally) increasing, and who is prepared? These are fundamental questions that need to be asked and answered. Before 9/11, after-action reports indicated the warning light had been blinking red, but “not everyone was convinced.” That light may be blinking red again. With a significant presence in the Middle East, the United States has been drawn into military action and increasingly targeted by groups such as Iranian networks, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis. Destroying or curtailing the military capabilities of these entities would limit their options for direct confrontation, but could expand asymmetrical operations and threats. For many in the United States, this raises a major concern and one that bears increased scrutiny and preparation to ensure that any attempts are thwarted.
