This link is intended to provide you with some commonsense measures you can take to protect your community from people who would use terrorism against you.

Terrorist Vulnerabilities

• They must live among us without looking suspicious while planning and preparing for their attack.
• They often need training or equipment that will arouse suspicion.
• They need to surreptitiously conduct surveillance on possible targets and gather information.

All these things leave terrorists vulnerable to detection….if we are alert and…..if we report it!

Staying Alert
How do we recognize the difference between normal and abnormal behavior?
By staying alert in our daily routines and getting to know:

• Who our neighbors are
• What cars are normally in our neighborhood
• What is appropriate in our work area so we can identify what isn’t

Staying alert is NOT paranoia. Staying alert is simply being aware of one’s surroundings. Some indications of possible trouble may include:

Pay attention to:

• Issues that have been in the media.
• Local/national/international news that may increase the risk for certain groups or facilities.
• Government-released “threat notices” indicating a threat against a type of facility.
• The U.S. threat advisory systems, which help you determine how alert you should be.

Overcoming Stereotypes
Many of us have been conditioned to think of a certain type of person when we hear the word “terrorist.” Unfortunately that means we look at a person’s appearance, language, and culture when evaluating suspicious actions.
We need to get beyond those stereotypes.
You can NOT identify a terrorist by:

• How a person looks
• Where a person is from

You CAN identify a terrorist threat by observing suspicious activity that may lead to a criminal act!

Recognizing Suspicious Activity Identifying suspicious activity is not a hard science. You have to rely on your judgment. Your suspicion of a threat could be confirmed with one incident. It could take a series of incidents. In the long run, it comes down to judgment and commonsense.

Unusual Requests for Information
Unusual requests for information can be a warning sign of terrorist activity.
Although possibly legitimate, these are also techniques used by terrorists to gather information.

Unusual Interest in High Risk or Symbolic Targets
Maybe they are taking an unusual interest in the Airport buildings or aircraft.

Unusual Activity
Be aware of:

• People acting furtively and suspiciously
• People avoiding eye contact
• People departing quickly when seen or approached
• People in places they don’t belong
• A strong odor coming from a building or vehicle
• Over dressed for the weather

Fraudulent Identification
Many 9/11 terrorists were in the country illegally using fraudulent IDs. Altering or using false government identification in any way and for any purpose is against the law. This includes:

• drivers license
• social security card
• passport
• birth certificate
• INS identification

Numerous Visitors
Terrorists, when not acting alone, need to meet with their conspirators. Pay attention to visitors:

• arriving and leaving at unusual hours
• trying not to be noticed
• acting in a suspicious manner
• parking an unusual distance from the meeting

Avoiding Community Contact
Not all people who maintain their privacy are terrorists! But people intent on doing illegal acts want to be left alone.
