The Maturation of Homeland Security: Moving to a Networked Response Improved coordination and planning can now allow us a quick return to business as usual Since the first edition of Critical Infrastructure: Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness published almost four years ago, significant advances in how we approach the safekeeping of our nation’s most critical infrastructures have come to fruition. To keep emergency management, disaster response, and homeland security personnel fully current, Radvanovsky and McDougall have now updated their essential reference.
Keeping pace with changes in laws and policies made by the Department of Homeland Security, this new edition also adds information to reflect the development of the Incident Command System (ICS) and the total revision of National Response Framework (NRF), implemented in 2008. The book expands sections on the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Homeland Security Presidential Directives, and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisitions Systems (SCADA) security initiatives.
