About Bioterrorism
Hours: 0.25
You don’t have to travel to a foreign country, work for a secret governmental organization, or be a high-profile person to be exposed to bioterrorism.
Your local community or even your workplace could be the location of an incident! Unlike some overtly violent acts (such as workplace shootings), bioterrorism incidents are hard to identify.
Being able to identify potential signs of a bioterrorism incident, as well as where to go to find response and treatment information, is vital to individual and organizational preparedness.
The goal of this course is to provide all staff with an overview of bioterrorism.
