This text introduces homeland security in the US, with a focus on the era following 9/11. It covers theories, agency missions, laws, and regulations governing homeland security, as well as threat scenarios and countermeasures and the reasons for constructing an extensive homeland security system. It discusses the historical and definitional background of homeland security, its legal foundations, all-hazards issues, civil liberties debates, and an organizational overview of the system; homeland security agencies and missions at the federal, state, and local levels; terrorist threat environments; resilience, prevention, protection of security nodes, planning, and the role of responders at every level; and the future of homeland security. This edition adds a new chapter on the role of intelligence; reorganizes content in some chapters; and adds and expands on topics like the role of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and preparedness planning, the different types of bombs used in terrorist attacks, the role of civil liberty in countering extremism through reform, the responsibilities of the National Guard in responding to emergencies and restoring civil order, asymmetric warfare and the contagion affect, resilience and the need for rapid recovery from emergencies, the whole-community approach to local planning and preparedness, the militarization of police, and electronic surveillance by government agencies. It also includes recent events, terrorist attacks, and cyberattacks. Annotation ©2020 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
