a. It can’t happen to us: It has already happened. It will continue to happen, so long as it is easy for terrorists to do. Preparedness will mitigate many adverse effects of the NBC attack when it does happen.   b. NBC is so deadly, the victims will all die anyway: NBC Weapons are not a doomsday machine. The vast majority of people within the entire area affected by an NBC event are not going to be seriously injured. Many will become casualties, however many will eventually recover with proper medical treatment.   c. There is nothing we can do: Yes, there is something you can do; everything you already know how to do in your normal mission as responders. Dealing with NBC agents as a part of the terrorist attack will certainly make that job harder, but not impossible.
