At CDC, we are trying to be prepared for any number of
scenarios. This means creating a strong infrastructure that includes
sophisticated laboratory surveillance and communication networks that enable us
to respond quickly and effectively to any number of threats. Given recent
history of bioterrorist events in Japan and Oregon and the presence of
malevolent angry individuals and groups bent on terrorist “statements,”
future events are quite possible and may be likely. A wide variety of biological
or chemical agents could be used, singly or in combination. There may be
isolated incidents or carefully planned multifocal attacks.
