The FIRST AID TO TERROR App
- is a unique tool, that was developed with ECNP Traumatic Stress Network and supported by ECNP. A digital tool contains easy to use and to apply recommendations for preferable responses following exposure to terror attack in different time points (first 6 hours, 6 to 12 hours, 12 to 24 hours, 24 hours to 1 week, 1 to 4 weeks).
For each time frame recommendation were made per:
- Stakeholders organizations (“Societal preparation” which include recommendations for task forces, rducation, communication, leadership, risk assessment and policy);
- Individuals (psychological and pharmacological, sleep regulation).
- A separate set of recommendations were made for media, social media, preparation and research.
The recommendations were identified upon their scientific strength and contain information on what should and should not be done in the first hours, days, week and month after an exposure to traumatic event (and more specifically, terror attack) displayed as a traffic light.
The app contains recommendations from the following guideline:
