​Terrorism

​​​The Municipality of Anchorage is not immune to acts of terrorism

An act of terrorism is considered unlikely in the MOA,  but the consequences of a terrorism act could be terrible.  There are several things you can do today to prepare:

Before an act of terrorism:

During an act of terrorism:
  • ​Remain calm and be patient
  • Follow instructions of local officials
  • Listen to radio or television for news and instructions
  • Check for injuries, give first aid and get help for seriously injured people
  • Call your family contact, do not use the phone again unless it is an emergency
​After an act of terrorism:
  • Expect a lot of law enforcement as they investigate the act
  • Health and mental health services may be ​overwhelmed
  • Workplaces and schools may be closed
  • Restrictions on travel may occur
  • Limit the amount of news children watch as they can be very upsetting.
  • Monitor your mental health and take breaks from television news
