Sumario:Whether you're a first responder, corporate executive, government official, or concerned citizen, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of U.S. homeland security and your own role in preparing for and responding to terrorism and disasters. Since publication of the 2005 edition, the Department of Homeland Security, other government agencies, and the broader homeland security enterprise have grown to cover "all hazards" and respond to emerging threats and policies. Topics include: new insights from the authors' close contacts with high-level government and business officials; late-breaking academic research, government reports, and examples from the field; lessons learned from foiled terror plots, natural disasters, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; use of emerging technologies by terrorists and responders alike; controversies surrounding civil liberties, airport security, immigration, and government funding. --
