Disaster management: designing a new model for effective planning in bioterrorism

Abstract

A biological attack can begin silently and insidiously. Instead of police, fire and emergency medical services rushing to a clearly apparent incident scene, medical facilities may be the first to see victims of a bioterrorism attack. In this study we proposed a surveillance system to detect, and respond to emergency health threats caused by bioterrorism. We recommended new models of disaster management for effective responding plan in bioterrorism.
