Surviving a physical or bioterrorist attack in cities or interdependent areas depends on good instructions and technical guidance easily accessible to upset or grieving people needing to do something, take action, or protect their families. Analyze this site. How is the technical information presented? Are the instructions clear? Well organized? Go through all the links on this section of the Red Cross site. Print out pages you find the most valuable. How does this site compare to other sites offering reassurance and guidance as well as practical instructions? What are the ethical and public service obligations of this site? Prepare an oral report using PowerPoint that explains your findings.
