Terrorism is a common threat throughout the world.
A terrorist attack using nuclear, biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction could mean hundreds or thousands of casualties. Being prepared for such an incident could save many lives. The MMRS Plan under development addresses emergency medical needs in the aftermath of a terrorist attack, including procurement and provision of appropriate pharmaceuticals, equipment and supplies for up to 1,000 victims. Strategies are being developed for the movement of patients to other areas of the region or nation, in the event that local health care is insufficient. A working draft of the plan is currently under review.
