Highlights
Did the US response to the marathon bombings help or harm security? by Peleg K, Shenhar G
Peleg and Shenhar, our Israeli colleagues, question the decisions taken by emergency response authorities at the local, state, and Federal levels in response to the Boston Marathon bombings [1]
The second point to be made relates to the notion of resilience – what it is and how are communities defined as “resilient”? The authors suggest that on account of the large scale dragnet imposed upon the city, and the closure of key transportation assets, the city’s core functions were “disrupted. . . on a massive scale.”
Summary
