It is often used against non-combatant targets. Terror tactics may include biologic, chemical, nuclear, or explosive events. Terrorism is generally considered to be the use of force or violence outside the law to create fear among citizens with the intent to coerce some sort of action. Health professionals should be aware bioterrorism is a potential vehicle for terrorists to influence populations in the hopes of achieving their agenda. All health professionals need to be prepared for this potentially catastrophic event. This activity reviews the types, evaluation, and treatment of biologic, chemical, and radiation terrorism and discusses the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating catastrophic events associated with terrorism.
