Book excerpt: In addition to planning and pre-disaster exercises essential for allocating resources and devising effective mental health interventions, this book also includes two CDs showing an international panel of experts discussing how best to plan for a bioterrorist event. Although only twelve people died after the sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway system in 1995, more than five thousand sought medical care for the effects of possible exposure. Bioterrorism can create chaos and disruption on a national and international scale. Moreover, it is believed to incur the most devastating psychological sequelae of all disasters.
