Command Considerations for Terror Response

Command Considerations for Terror Response

Under an integrated response plan, and the national incident management system, first-responders at the command level must be able to manage terror scenes. This means enabling effective rescue of the injured while assuring the security and safety of first-responders and receivers. This interactive seminar provides lessons learned from Israel, integrated into an American environment, to address such concerns as secondary threats, safe staging, ingress and egress, and adversary interdiction.
Both the Israel Police and the Magen David Adom (Israel’s equivalent of the Red Cross) have been interdicting and responding to suicide bombing attacks for many years. The tactic of the adversary has adapted to the constant improvement in the counter terror techniques and countermeasures of the Israelis. Aaron Richman, former captain in the Israel National Police (Jerusalem Precinct), paramedic, and Homeland Security instructor, will present case studies on mass casualty terror events inside Israel. Richman will address attacks of which he commanded the response, as well as suicide bombings with strong lessons learned for first responders and receivers.
Emergency services, managers, and the private sector can gain tools and knowledge to assist in designing policies and procedures for various responses to such incidents, as well as understanding as to the dangers associated with operations in such an environment.
