 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

[edit]Damage Mitigation
[edit]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[1]. 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.
