You can prepare yourself for the terrorist attack by applying the same solutions that are used during other types of crises, therefore you should:
- be cautious and aware of the situation around you. The main characteristic of terrorism is to act unexpectedly;
- while travelling you should be extra careful. Pay attention to any signs of unusual behaviour. Don’t take any packages from the strangers. Don’t leave your luggage unattended;
- remember the location of an emergency exit. Think ahead, where is an escape path from the building, subway or crowded places. Remember the location of the staircases;
- remember the elements of your near surrounding. Pay attention to any hard, heavy objects, that can be displaced, thrown away or destroyed during the explosion.
