Overall,approximately three fourths of hospital emergency response plans address explosive or incendiary attacks; however, only approximately one fifth of hospitals conduct drills to prepare for these types of attacks. Hospitals in metropolitan statistical areas are more likely to possess such plans and to conduct drills than are hospitals in nonmetropolitan statistical areas.
