Protecting People Against Terrorist Attacks: Design Considerations for Safe Rooms and Shelters

The fact that data for manmade threats are scarce and that the magnitude and recurrence of terrorist attacks are unpredictable makes the determination of a particular threat for any specific site or building difficult and largely subjective. This interactive online course teaches you about potential manmade threats and design considerations for shelters. You will learn about explosive threats and chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) attacks and the level of protection needed for shelters to protect people against terrorist attacks.
