“terrorist attack” simulator

More than in any other situation, emergency operations following a terrorist attack must follow strict procedures established and validated beforehand in order to avoid casualties among emergency forces.

When operations are launched on a natural or industrial disaster, most of the time the nature of the disaster is known; whereas in the case of a terrorist attack, the identified disaster may hide a more serious problem that can endanger the life of emergency forces.

Therefore training beforehand is required to establish and test intervention practices protecting as much as possible intervening forces

 

URBAN RISKS simulator – Terrorist Attack fulfills a double objective:

 

1.      setting up the interdepartmental cooperation that must exist during such events 

2.      setting up operations on the field 

Setting up the interdepartmental cooperation

 

As with other disasters, the simulator models the various operational levels likely to intervene in a terrorist attack. This modeling allows every level to conceive and validate operational procedures during training exercises.

 

For example, the public executive in charge of the region will be able to go through the process of procedures and validate them:

· to install a security perimeter

· to identify urban characteristics of the zone (subways stations for example)

· to request the closing of subway stations and roads

 

Setting up operations on the field

 

Paired with reliable calculators of consequences, the URBAN RISKS Simulator – Terrorist Attack can play a valuable part not only in training but also in establishing well-defined procedures to avoid haste in decision-making.
