Terrorism

Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.

Since the events of September 11, 2001, the City of New Smyrna Beach has taken necessary precautions to prepare, as best as possible, for any situation that might occur. Security has been increased at the Municipal Airport and a fence is being installed along its perimeter. Joint training programs have occurred between the City, hospital and other responding agencies. In addition, key personnel have been trained in emergency preparedness and terrorism through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
