Human behavioral responses after a targeted improvised explosive device (IED) attack at soft targets and crowded places
DeMichele, M. T., Parkin, W., Roberts-Ingleson, E. M., & Corder, N. M. (2024). Human behavioral responses after a targeted improvised explosive device (IED) attack at soft targets and crowded places. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T).
Information from this study can be used to inform both emergency management personnel and civilians about how people tend to respond to soft target attacks and what actions they need to take to mitigate further damage. Understanding human behavioral responses to IED events can specifically impact:
• Training for law enforcement, fire and rescue, and emergency medical personnel • Public awareness campaigns for civilians • Soft target space design • Soft target security procedures
