Abstract:
The subject of disaster management is gaining increasing attention not only in India but also in the international arena, with a significantly progressive focus on the aspect of developing, augmenting and guaranteeing the disaster resilience of communities/nations.
A total of over 400 books, journal articles, weblogs and newspaper items were scrutinised, and only a select few entries were synthesized, shortlisted for inclusion in the current literature review. A focused and deliberate attempt was made to specially review available literature which dealt with the subject of biological terrorism, so as to get a deeper insight into this facet of disaster management.
One aspect that was very evident during the process of the literature review - was that despite there being an overabundance of study material available on the internet about "terrorism" - specifically after the gruesome "9/11" episode - the aspect of bioterrorism, was however not given the same amount of exposure as had been provided to other forms of terrorism.
