5 Things to Do to Prepare for a Terror Attack

By    |   Friday, 17 June 2016 06:56 PM EDT

It may seem impossible to prepare for a terror attack. After all, terrorists don’t typically announce their plans to the public ahead of time, so you don’t know where or when a terror attack may strike.

There are some ways to be prepared for the possibility of an attack, however. Here are five things you can to prepare for a terror attack.

1. Be aware of your surroundings.

Look for things that seem out of place, anyone acting overly nervous, and backpacks or duffle bags left unattended.

If you have any “funny feelings,” don’t ignore them. It’s far better to report something that turns out to be nothing than to ignore evidence that turns out to be an attack.

2. Make an emergency plan.

Each member of your family should know where to meet and how to contact you and each other if a terror attack should take place in your area, according to Gear Up Get Ready.

3. Have a supply kit in your home and car.

In the event of a biological, chemical, or radiation attack, items like a mask, radiation pills, and water purification bottles or pills can save your life while you wait for help to come.

Your home kit should also contain duct tape and plastic sheeting in case you need to make an area airtight.

4. Have food and water ready.

Your home should always have at least 72 hours of water and food for each family member, and it’s not a bad idea to stash some water and nonperishable food items in your car as well, according to Survivalist Prepper.

You may not be at home when a terror attack takes place.

5. Have a way to get news and communicate.

If a large scale attack happens, cell towers may be out of commission and power may be out.

Having a radio with batteries or a hand crank radio can help you get news so you know when it’s safe to venture out.
