EDGARTOWN, MA - March 17, 2005 - According to federal officials,
suicide bombers are likely to attack in the US. A successful suicide
bombing could inflict grave physical and psychological damage to the
target population. Emergency responders must train to protect their
communities against such vicious acts, as well as to prepare
themselves to respond to potential suicide bombings. Emergency Film
Group of Edgartown, MA, has collaborated with terrorism experts around
the country to produce a training program for responders that
addresses this difficult subject. The program, titled "Suicide
Bomber", is now in the final stages of production and includes a video
or DVD and a Leader's Guide. This program is a resource for local
emergency personnel such as fire fighters, law enforcement, bomb
squads, EMS, and emergency management who can use the program to
understand the complex issues involved in a terrorist suicide threat
and begin to set up a plan that will work for their jurisdiction.
"Suicide Bomber" outlines trends in suicide terrorism, examines how
different types of suicide bombs are constructed and concealed, and
identifies common bomb targets. Both pre-detonation and post-
detonation responses are portrayed. For pre-detonation situations, the
program shows dispatchers taking warning calls, mobilizing local and
federal response teams, and dealing with the bomber, including the use
of deadly force. For post detonation situations, the program depicts
responders identifying WMD agents, checking for secondary devices, and
managing victims.
To film the program, Gordon Massingham, president of Emergency Film
Group, traveled with his film crew to California where he worked with
Ventura County emergency response agencies as they conducted an
exercise in a suicide response. The film crew was able to get up
close and personal, and get many hours of realistic action footage.
That footage has been combined with actual news footage of suicide
bombings, and edited into an accurate, exciting training program of
broadcast quality.
Emergency Film Group uses leading professionals in emergency response
and film production to create authoritative and accurate training
programs for fire departments, hazmat teams, emergency management,
police, EMS, the military and other emergency responders. Winner of
more than 125 awards in national and international competition, the
company addresses such timely topics as terrorism response, homeland
security, hazardous chemicals, incident command, protective clothing,
air monitoring, and more.
