Event Set: Deterministic Terrorism Details Window
This window enables you to view existing custom terrorism event sets, add custom terrorism event sets manually, import custom terrorism event sets, and modify the event set name and description. You can add event sets manually using United States or international geographic locations or, for the United States only, using AIR Landmarks. You can import custom terrorism events in comma-separated values (CSV) format.
You can import up to 500 non-geocoded terrorism events (events with no latitude/longitude information) or 21,000 geocoded terrorism events. When creating the CSV file that you want to import, you must include the event name and weapon type. In addition, for each Large Plane Crash or Small Plane Crash event that you want to import, you must also include height (i.e., number of stories) data.
