 1.
A biological attack is the release of germs
or other biological substances. Many agents
must be inhaled, enter through a cut in the
skin or be eaten to make you sick. Some
biological agents can cause contagious
diseases, others do not.

 2.
A biological attack may or may not be
immediately obvious. While it is possible
that you will see signs of a biological
attack it is perhaps more likely that local
health care workers will report a pattern of
unusual illness. |
 3.
You will probably learn of the danger
through an emergency radio or TV broadcast. |
 4.
If you become aware of an unusual or
suspicious release of an unknown substance
nearby, it doesn't hurt to protect yourself.
|
 5.
Get away from the substance as quickly as
possible. |
 6.
Cover your mouth and nose with layers of
fabric that can filter the air but still
allow breathing. |
