What to do during an terrorist attack
What does the government do
National authorities, such as the police force and justice, often work together to reduce the chance of a terrorist attack. In particular, they exchange information and adapt laws and regulations.
They also work with other countries to prevent terrorist attacks. All measures to combat terrorism will reduce the chance of an attack but do not prevent it always.
