Consequence Management Plan

Consequence Management Plan

The Tokyo sarin gas attack was a terrorist attack that occurred on the morning of March 1995. Sarin, a nerve agent, was released into the Tokyo Metro system by members of the Aum Shinrikyo doomsday (Saiya, 2020). Twelve people were killed, and over five thousand were injured in the attack. The government quickly identified those who carried out the attack and arrested them. The government also devised a comprehensive plan to ensure that such an attack never happened again. This plan included:

Establish a clear chain of command and communication channels: It is essential to have a clear chain of command and well-established communication channels. This will ensure that everyone knows who is in charge and their roles and that information can be quickly and efficiently relayed between agencies and responders.

Evacuate the affected area: The priority in the event of a sarin gas attack was to evacuate the affected area. The evacuation will help minimize the number of people exposed to the gas and allow emergency services to better focus on those affected.

Set up decontamination areas: Once the affected area is evacuated, it will need to be decontaminated. This will involve setting up particular places where people can be cleaned and treated, if necessary.

Provide psychological support: In the aftermath of a sarin gas attack, it is essential to provide psychological support to those affected. This can help them to deal with the trauma they have experienced and start rebuilding their lives.
