Protocol for frontliners in terrorist attacks

MANILA, Philippines — Terrorism has gone global. How prepared is your organization in a terrorist attack?  In times of such crisis, people may panic, become confused, or act impulsively, which can lead to further chaos and danger. Being prepared can make a significant difference – reducing the number of casualties, and ensuring the safety of the many. 

As part of its advocacy for disaster preparedness, the Center for Global Best Practices will host a special two-session program entitled Protocol for frontliners in terrorist attacks to be held on Thursday and Friday, June 8 and 9, 2023 from 1:30 to 4:45 p.m. via Zoom.

This pioneering training will teach participants the best practices on how to respond effectively during an attack, which includes situational awareness, coordination and communication strategies with law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders, swift and effective actions to reduce number of fatalities, and mitigation of other potential risks. It is to equip both those in the government and private sectors with the right knowledge and skills to handle deadly attacks and emergency situations of this nature.
