Given the number of Americans who live in rural areas and the unique challenges they face in the provision of health care services, special attention to planning for and responding to terrorist acts is warranted. After September 11, 2001, Florida developed a statewide, community‐based model that applies the public health principles of assessment, policy development, and assurance. This model can serve as a possible framework for other states and communities.
