Explosives was ranked by the majority of organizations as being most important to prepare for. However, in interpreting these results, one should keep in mind that not all organizations of a particular type may have chosen a particular incident type as most important to prepare for. For example, the mean score for hospitals indicated that chemical was their top-ranked incident type; however, the mean score for bioterrorism was a close second in the overall rankings. 13).

In addition, we were interested in learning how organizations were financing these new activities since 9/11. 2 The third and final survey asked all state and local response organizations surveyed in 2001 about the broader concept of preparedness for terrorism in general, including, but not limited to, incidents involving WMD.
