If the nation does not take immediate steps to better identify and address the urgent needs of emergency responders, the next terrorist incident could be even more devastating than 9/11.TerrorismUnited StatesPreventionCivil defenseUnited StatesEmergency managementUnited StatesTerrorismPrevention.Civil defenseEmergency management363.35364.1Metzl Jamie Frederic1868505Rudman Warren B1090726Clarke Richard A330051Council on Foreign Relations.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973655603321Emergency responders-- drastically underfunded, dangerously unprepared4476442UNINA
