Damage Mitigation
Damage mitigation is the process of ensuring areas at high risk of attack suffer minimum damage if an attack were to occur. This is done through various means, such as establishing guidelines in the instance of an attack, or establishing centers of command in the event of an attack. By taking such actions communities can work towards ensuring their safety in the event of an attack.

One aspect of damage mitigations falls to the establishment of Emergency Operations Centers (EOCs). These EOCs act as command centers in the event of any form of terrorist activities. In an era post 9/11 these facilities help to coordinate emergency services and between separate jurisdictions, as terrorist attacks require response at all levels.
