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.

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
