sort of homeland security apparatus is what we call sort of right of boom planning in other words. you have to assume that the bad thing will happen until we are able to manage this gun violence. and so you see a lot of preparation from small hospitals to large metropolitan hospitals on what do you do in that moment, how do you surge resources, how do you get the personnel in, how do you protect them, and the most importantly thing i say too often on this is family unification, that s most important in any crisis. you have to get the family members notified. they need to know what s going on. you have to get them with the patients, if they are able. so you saw that sort of choreographed response and it s it s sophisticated because of this need for us to prepare, because these incidents that are happening too much. we just simply can t stop them enough. and so then to your second part about motivation, we just don t know yet. we know his identity. we know he s a white 30-year-old
had wanted. that s exactly right. it s the challenge of how could you measure success for the terrorists and for cities and cities in this age of the kind of terrorism that we re seeing. but part of how we need to measure it is can law enforcement public safety, fire officials, the public be able to react in a way that minimizes the harm after the attack. we call this right of boom planning, right, in terms of saving lives, minimizing those who have to go to the hospital. in that regard i quote the mayor of london. the response was spectacular. if you can minimize the death toll it undermines the terrorists success even though of course they got through and killed some people, but it also helps the city bounce back and become more resilient. in this day and age with the terror we re facing we have to anticipate future attacks and measure own our success whether
in fighting terrorism is our capacity to respond and to protect as many lives as possible. so we call that right of boom planning. the first is the communication to the public. the london police told them where to go, focusing on family unification, the most important thing in a crisis like this and finally crowd sourcing the investigation because they are asking for videos, cameras, pictures anyone may have. you may think you don t have anything and it s a piece of a puzzle to determine maybe there was others around maybe we can find out more about at sill ant. we learn something after all of these attacks that helps the next city prepare for the sort of right of boom planning which is just so key to give cities and urban areas a sense of resiliency because you re not going to stop all of these attacks unfortunately. look at this one.
