If this is not possible, then the next most feasible strategy is to mitigate risk. "Once the risks have been identified and assessed, putting a comprehensive risk management plan in place for terrorism risk is similar in many respects to understanding and managing the risks due to other hazards, such as extreme wind or earthquakes. Often, emergency planning and disaster recovery preparations that are in place for other types of hazards can be extended to prepare for and/or protect against terrorist attacks" (Gould 2004). Ideally, risk management means being able to project from whom and where the likely threats will arise, based upon current intelligence regarding domestic and international threats. Infiltrating terrorist organizations, monitoring them, and assessing past incidents are...
Security at and screening of likely targets is also vital. And, when these measures fail, then plans must be in place to coordinate activities between law enforcement on a federal, state, and local level to insure a an effective response.
Q2. What is the importance of planning with regards to terrorism emergency management?
Dealing with the fallout from a terrorist attack is a massive effort and requires 'dry runs' and coordination of personnel. A thorough assessment of the types of equipment needed to deal with various threats is also required, whether these threats come from explosions or chemical attacks. Every attack is different, depending on the nature of the target and the specific object of the assault. Of course, a completely accurate assessment is impossible, but simulating likely future events ensures better physical and psychological preparation for an attack, if it occurs.
Planning can also help law enforcement officials to anticipate what types of threats are most likely,…

Leadership, according to La Monica (1938), is when a person has authority that is recognized by others, and the person has followers/subordinates under them, who believe that the person will assist them in attaining certain goals (carrying out specific objectives for the followers). Furthermore, anyone that is willing to assist and help others could be referred to as a leader (p.8) Leaders see what others do not Most leaders have
The benefits of high-quality relationships come from relational resources (Wright, et al. 2005) they create. Such resources include durable obligations (e.g., arising from feelings of gratitude, respect, and friendship), network contacts and connections (including privileged access to information and opportunities, social status, and reputation of influential others), and the ability to have open information exchanges with those around them (Valle & Halling, 1989). Relationships that do not develop so well are
