Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to outline the essential features of an original Threat Assessment Method for sites and buildings for the case of terrorist attacks with Explosive/CBR agents. The proposed method, based on an approach in six Steps, provides a structured guide useful to the Assessment Team in charge to evaluate the terrorist risks in a site/building. The method introduces two indexes, the general Attractiveness of a target and the Terrorist Capability. Using these indexes, it is possible to evaluate for a wide area a first rank for the sites/buildings that shows a potentially higher Attractiveness for the terrorists and, in a similar way, the Terrorist Capability index that provides a criterion for determining the easily applicable threats in a wide list of proposed Explosive/CBR weapons. Finally, the proposed method is applied to three practical Case Studies and obtained results are discussed.
