Study: How WTC evacuees left area after attacks

摘要

A study, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through the Association of Schools of Public Health, reveals that survivors of the World Trade Center (WTC) terrorist attacks in September 2001 stopped for information and sought out others, indicating that these critical factors should be included in emergency planning. "Planning has to be adapted at every level to meet the need for sudden action in a catastrophic situation," according to the authors.
