Hello. Welcome to CRM365, Local Response to Terrorism. My name is Lisa Haber, and I’m introducing this course for the developing faculty member, Delmar Wright.

Today’s domestic terrorist threats along with the potential threats posed by more than 40 Foreign Terrorist Organizations designated by the U.S. Department of State, are justifications for addressing potential local responses to terrorism. This course is intended to provide an overview and understanding of the incident management dynamics likely to be inherent in such responses, while also addressing the knowledge and skill-sets likely to be required.

There were 45 known cases of domestic terrorism identified in the U.S. between September 11, 2001 and the end of 2009. The forty-five cases have resulted in the indictments of 116 individuals since 2002. Many of these individuals recruited themselves into the role of sympathizers, supporters, and terrorists in response to jihadist propaganda or events in the world. Many of them began their journey on the Internet, which has seen a significant increase in English-language Jihadist web sites and chat rooms. Jihadist sites engage in psychological warfare, publicity and propaganda, data mining, fundraising, recruitment and mobilization, networking, sharing information, and planning and coordination.

Topics addressed in this course include:

• Assessing the terrorist threat

• Developing the situation and assumptions about a terrorist threat

• Direction and control for terrorist incidents

• Communicating during terrorist incidents

• Disseminating warnings during terrorist incidents

• Emergency public information

• Taking protective action during a terrorist incident

• Planning for mass care following a terrorist incident

• Planning health and medical needs in a terrorist incident

• Managing resources in a terrorist incident

• Roles and responsibilities in a terrorist incident

During the course, please remember to contact your instructor should you have a question at any time. I trust that you will find this a challenging and rewarding course.
