Background

Training ahead of time for worse case scenarios. Having back up plans

Ensure unity of all rescue workers. Collaborate what is best to do and effectively.

View of Terrorism after 9/11

It is taken more seriously now, viewed as everyone is a threat

In 2017 President Donald Trump banned entry from seven majority Muslim countries (Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia) citing national security reasons.

None of these countries were a place of terrorist but Trump assumed they were

We just assumed that these terrorists were from out of the country when a lot of them were here in the US

Racism increased for middle eastern people

(Iran, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia) citing national security reasons.
