With Steve Holl
Arlington County Police Deputy Chief
Wednesday, July 18, 2002; 11 a.m. EDT

The events of Sept. 11, 2001, the ensuing anthrax attacks and other terrorist activities have brought the United States to a heightened level of awareness. In the event of an emergency, families should be well informed and have a solid understanding of the national, state and local plans for responding to a terrorist event.

Arlington County Police Deputy Chief Steve Holl will be online to discuss terrorism preparedness since Sept. 11 and the role of local government in this process.
