Kế hoạch và hiệu ứng giảm nhẹ thiên tai và khủng bố tấn công Huyền thoại nói chung Trung Quốc Tôn Tử là một thiên tài quân sự chiến lược. Trong cuốn sách cổ điển của mình, The Art of War, Tôn Tử đã viết Các hình thức cao nhất của chiến thuật là để lẩn tránh các kế hoạch của địch; các tốt nhất tiếp theo là để ngăn chặn các ngã ba lực lượng của địch, tiếp theo theo thứ tự là để tấn công quân đội của đối phương trong lĩnh vực này; và các chính sách tồi tệ nhất. | 10 Planning and Mitigating Effects of Natural Disasters and Terrorist Attacks The legendary Chinese general Sun Tzu was a strategic military genius. In his classical book The Art of War Sun Tzu wrote The highest form of generalship is to balk the enemy s plans the next best is to prevent the junction of the enemy s forces the next in order is to attack the enemy s army in the field and the worst policy of all is to besiege walled cities. .1 This book is still widely read by people from a diverse range of backgrounds including generals politicians businessmen and even terrorists. A growing number of terrorist groups some of whom are drawing at least in part from Sun Tzu s strategies have a common goal not only to undermine the political and economic structure of the West but also to throw Western society into chaos. This being the case what can Westerners do to prevent this nightmarish scenario from becoming a reality The answer is obvious to thwart their plans at every turn. This implies being at least one step ahead of them and perhaps a little more clever. As Sun Tzu might have counseled this can be achieved by developing superior plans while disrupting their objectives. Plans can be developed for scattering and splitting the enemies of peace to prevent the junction of their forces and perhaps most importantly plans and security measures can be forged for constructing walled cities that cannot be besieged. CAN PLANNING FOR A DISASTER PREVENT A DISASTER Nearly all environmental statutes regulate or place substantive constraints on what may be done and how it is to be done. The National Environmental Policy Act NEPA is unique in that it neither regulates nor mandates substantive NEPA provides the only comprehensive federal planning process that is applicable to virtually all federal actions. Its purpose is not to place strict limitations on what can be done but instead provides a rigorous planning process for ensuring that actions and alternatives
