The IAFC Terrorism and Homeland Security Committee has released its expanded Terrorism Response: A Checklist and Guide for Fire Chiefs and Community Preparedness Leaders, 3rd Edition. This expanded toolkit provides a clear, systematic and comprehensive framework for all emergency responders and community preparedness leaders to better prepare for, prevent, respond to and recover from all-risks and all-hazards incidents.

This checklist provides detailed steps that departments and communities can adapt to their own needs while strengthening their preparedness and response capabilities. The expanded checklist includes a newly interactive checklist summary that allows departments and communities to save, revisit and reassess readiness at regular intervals (initial, mid-point, 18 month and follow-up assessment). Other additions include the new Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8), case studies, after-action reports, lessons learned and updated references.

The complete toolkit of resources is also also available online at www.iafc.org/hschecklist.
