The planning of Weapon and Mass Destruction has adequately addressed the health component. By engaging every sector, both private and public healthcare providers, an effective response plan is given with the mutual understanding of both stakeholders. Every healthcare provider has been well-prepared in case of any terrorist attack occurs. Terrorists can exert a profound influence on the healthcare sector, drawing reference from the incident on September 11, 2001, which caused many impacts such as death and economic complications (Reynolds, 2020). When planning for a future response towards such responses, the state and federal governments have effectively addressed it. It is believed that after the war, many individuals who are victims suffer from psychological issues (Reynolds, 2020). Hence, the focus of healthcare providers has been put on how the long-term recovery process and preparedness should be addressed. To this end, appropriate preparation has been ensured with regard to the process of dealing with psychological and social issues. Therefore, healthcare providers are well-equipped to handle such situations due to financial support and training in service delivery.
To facilitate a response to any attack, funding is always a necessity. Due to the plans and measures undertaken, in adverse circumstances, local healthcare facilities and both state and local governments will receive enough funding. The relevant authorities often encounter burdens during the time of war or attack. Healthcare and governments (both local and state) need to have sufficient funds to handle the impacts of war. Every fiscal year involves the allocation of funds to various sectors within the economy. With such consideration and plans to reduce terrorism attacks, capital is given to healthcare providers to ensure that social amenities that support people are well-established. Furthermore, most states heavily invest in security and the general welfare of their citizens. Funds are always allocated to the relevant sectors to enhance their effectiveness in handling issues that may affect all citizens.
