When we think of a disaster, we typically only reflect on the damaged that can be
repaired with funding. Rarely do we think of the psychological effects that a
disaster can have a person and/or a family. The terrorist attack that took place on
September 11,2001 and the turmoil from Hurricane Katrina, are both prime
examples of two different disaster that can affect a person’s psychological state.
During, both of these disaster’s there was destruction, death and psychological
issues felt by an induvial. In this paper we will discuss the September 11 th attack,
Hurricane Katrina and the psychology effects that a person can experience during
a disaster.
B. Outline:
The attack on the United States on September 11 th allowed the citizens to realize
that we are not always prepared for terrorism. The attacks made it clear that some
of the standards or requirements to combat terrorism needed to be revamped. To
be able to respond to an attack all levels of government and first responders must
be prepared and equipped with the necessity to combat a terrorist and to assist
with recovery. The September 11th attack shed light on the fact that the New York
City first responders did not have the proper training nor equipment needed to
respond to this level of terrorism. This attack also shed a light on the FBI for not
completing the proper intelligence collection on suspected terrorist.
