The public was advised to avoid large crowds, which could be potential targets, as well as unattended cars and trucks which could be rigged with explosives.

In the aftermath of an attack, the public must at least 10 blocks or 200 yards away from the damaged buildings to avoid getting injured from debris.

Lastly, the public was advised to heed the advise of security officials and call the government's 911 hotline for help.
