Trauma history and re-traumatization. Workers also need to be aware of two aspects of trauma with victims of terrorism : previous trauma and repeat trauma... First, 9/11 had the strongest impact on people who had a history of trauma... Second, once traumatized, the person is more vulnerable to re-traumatization by other events... Of particular note, watching television coverage related to the terrorist event can have a negative effect on the trauma reaction of both adults and children... 1, record 1, English, - re%2Dtraumatization

Antécédents en matière de traumatisme et retraumatisation. Les intervenants doivent également connaître deux aspects du traumatisme subi par les victimes du terrorisme : le traumatisme antérieur et les traumatismes répétés [...] Premièrement, les attentats du 9 septembre ont eu l'effet le plus important sur les personnes qui avaient déjà subi un traumatisme [...] Deuxièmement, un traumatisme antérieur accroît la vulnérabilité de la personne à ce mal si d'autres événements se produisaient [...] Il convient de noter en particulier que le fait de regarder les reportages télévisés sur l'attentat terroriste peut avoir un effet négatif sur la réaction au traumatisme des adultes et des enfants [...] 1, record 1, French, - retraumatisation

Because every response to a terrorist event is unique, there is an emerging realization that a response can be conducted by an array of non-traditional first responders, including local public health authorities, front-line health care providers, food inspectors, and lay responders. 1, record 3, English, - non%2Dtraditional%20first%20responder

Puisque chaque intervention en cas d'acte terroriste est unique, on prend de plus en plus conscience qu'une intervention peut être dirigée par une panoplie de premiers intervenants non traditionnels, comme les autorités locales de santé publique, les fournisseurs de soins de santé de première ligne, les inspecteurs alimentaires et les intervenants civils. 1, record 3, French, - premier%20intervenant%20non%20traditionnel

Emerging Threats : Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Terrorism. The threat of terrorist or criminal use of nuclear, biological and chemical(NBC) weapons in Canada is considered low; however, the potential consequences of such an event could be so significant that national capabilities may be called upon to support local responders. While the main focus of our efforts must be on prevention, prudence dictates that local communities should have a capacity to respond to the consequences of an NBC terrorist incident. 1, record 4, English, - nuclear%2C%20biological%20and%20chemical%20terrorism

Nouvelles menaces : Terrorisme nucléaire, biologique et chimique. On considère qu'au Canada, le risque d'utilisation d'armes nucléaires, biologiques ou chimiques (NBC) par des terroristes ou des criminels est faible. Cependant, si cela se produisait, les conséquences d'un tel acte seraient si graves qu'il serait peut-être nécessaire de faire appel aux ressources nationales pour porter main-forte aux intervenants locaux. Bien que nos efforts doivent être axés sur la prévention, la prudence exige que les collectivités locales se dotent de la capacité nécessaire pour réagir aux conséquences d'un acte terroriste perpétré au moyen d'une arme nucléaire, biologique ou chimique. 1, record 4, French, - terrorisme%20nucl%C3%A9aire%2C%20biologique%20et%20chimique

Although it is impossible to estimate the precise likelihood of a mass-casualty terrorist attack using CBRN [chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear] materials, the technical obstacles to such an attack are by no means insuperable. It appears to be a case not of "if, "but rather of "when, "the next such event will occur. 1, record 5, English, - mass%2Dcasualty%20terrorist%20attack

Il est impossible d'évaluer avec précision le risque qu'un attentat terroriste commis au moyen de substances chimiques, biologiques, radiologiques ou nucléaires fasse un grand nombre de victimes, mais les obstacles techniques à la perpétration d'un tel attentat ne sont nullement insurmontables. Il semble qu'il faut plutôt se demander « quand » le prochain attentat surviendra, et non pas « si » il surviendra. 1, record 5, French, - attentat%20terroriste%20faisant%20un%20grand%20nombre%20de%20victimes
