BIOTERRORISM |
|
|
Bioterrorism is a very high
risk in the current worldwide political environment.
Bioterrorism poses a great risk to national security, can
be easily transmitted and disseminated, result in high
mortality, have potential major public health impact, may
cause public panic, or require special action for public
health preparedness.
Bioterrorism is terrorism
by intentional release or dissemination of viruses,
bacteria, or other germs (agents) used to cause illness or
death in people, animals, or plants. A number of
high-priority Category A agents, including Anthrax,
Smallpox, Botulinum toxin, Bubonic plague, Viral
hemorrhagic fever, Tularemia; as well as a variety of
Category B and C agents that may be engineered for mass
dissemination because of their availability, are easy to
produce and disseminate, or may possess high mortality or
a major health impact. These agents are typically found in
nature, but it is possible that they could be changed to
increase their ability to cause disease, make them
resistant to current medicines, or to increase their
ability to be spread into the environment. Biological
agents can be spread through the air, through water, or in
food. Terrorists may use biological agents because they
can be extremely difficult to detect and do not cause
illness for several hours to several days. Some
bioterrorism agents, like the smallpox virus, can be
spread from person to person and some, like anthrax,
cannot.
To help resist this form of
catastrophe, the Vivos shelters are designed to:
• Withstand chemical and biological weapons
• Decontaminate and cleanse persons suspected of
exposure to biological or chemical substances
