Description
1. Introduction
Recent attacks in Europe are reminders that terrorism increasingly
targets private citizens in large public gatherings and is a growing
global concern to public health and disaster preparedness [1]. While
current trends (2014–2017) indicate fewer reported terrorist attacks,
the world has seen an increase of terrorist activity since September 11,
2001 [1]. Terrorism or other antagonistic incidents however, are only
one type of event that may cause large numbers of casualties. Indeed, a
broad spectrum of incidents (technological, natural and social) cause
disasters. Globally, the number of reported disasters has increased [2].
With approximately 220 million people affected worldwide and 85
million people affected by disasters in Europe and North America in
2016 alone, the cost of human suffering in terms of death, illness and
injury is incalculable [3,4].
