  • Title: Medical preparation for terrorism in Australia. Is luck running out for "the lucky country?
    Author: Caldicott DG, Edwards NA.
    Journal: Prehosp Disaster Med; 2003; 18(2):57-65. PubMed ID: 15074484.
    Abstract:
    Recent world events have forced Australia to re-examine its role on the world stage and its susceptibility to terrorist attacks. The authors examine the brief historical exposure of Australia to the phenomenon of terrorism, and review the geopolitical climate and features that may render it more susceptible to attack in the future. Australia's emergency management structure is outlined, and its current state of medical preparedness for a terrorist incident is critically reviewed.
