Atlantis! Few words evoke a deeper feeling of wonder, and of an utter sense of irreparable loss than the name of the Lost Continent. And this fascinating mix of feelings has lasted since the times of Plato, the great philosopher who wrote about Atlantis some two and a half millennia ago, when Greece was still the main center of culture in the Western World. But is Atlantis just a myth? A Science Fiction creation? Or is it indeed an actual history, somehow restored to the realm of reality by the magic pen of the prince of philosophers? There is a certain something in the story of Atlantis that captures human imagination and instantly fascinates everyone who reads Plato’s masterful account of the lost prehistoric empire of global extent. Perhaps this something is Plato’s insistence on the fact that he is speaking truthfully, and that the story of Atlantis is an absolute reality.

However, their dense populations and critical infrastructure also make them vulnerable to one of humanity's most persistent threats: terrorism. The specter of a terrorist attack can disrupt not only the physical environment but also the very psyche of a society, sowing fear and chaos that ripple far beyond the immediate impact zone.This book, Evacuation of Cities in Case of a Terrorist Attack, was born from the recognition that preparedness is our most potent tool against such threats. It provides a comprehensive guide to planning, executing, and managing large-scale urban evacuations in the face of terrorist scenarios.
