Be aware. Be aware about world events. Be aware about Homeland Security. Be aware about what is going on around you. Be aware about traveling.

When we read about an act of terrorism we never think that the victims had much to do with their selection as a target. More often than not, they were "in the wrong place, at the wrong time". Terrorist would disagree and have a reason for why a group was selected, however the best thing to do is to avoid areas that have a history of terrorist acts. This won't protect from incidents like 9/11, nothing will, but what you do when you learn an act of terrorism has been committed could save your life.

According to the American Red Cross, "there are things you can do to prepare for the unexpected and reduce the stress that you may feel now and later should another emergency arise. Taking preparatory action can reassure you and your children that you can exert a measure of control even in the face of such events."
