Homeland Security…

We will identify homeland security laws relevant to your business or your community. 

Homeland security and emergency management  has matured since 9/11. The military, diplomats, intelligence agencies, and law enforcement are absolutely necessary for homeland security, but not all that is necessary.

The Vision of Homeland Security

There are dozens of homeland security laws covering topics such as agriculture and food production, energy production and transmission, critical infrastructure protection, transportation (including pipelines), and pandemics.

Many if not most are “dual use.” The bandage used for a terrorist bombing is the same bandage used for a tornado.

Homeland security laws are 100% designed to help us.

Homeland Security Distinguished From Homeland Defense

Homeland security is "an integral element of a broader national security and domestic policy...

[It] describes the intersection of evolving threats and hazards with traditional governmental and civic responsibilities for civil defense, emergency response, law enforcement, customs, border control, and immigration." (JP 3-28.)

No Consensus: What does Homeland Security Mean?

Federal homeland security laws create obligations on federal government agencies to help the private sector and state/local governments. Exclusively in the areas of preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery, these laws are here 100% to help us and save lives.

Holistic Homeland Security

Some believe homeland security is only about disasters. Others say it encompasses almost every aspect of our lives. This view means that the arts, such as painting, poetry, music, and dance have homeland security implications. By virtue of their ability to break down cultural barriers, the arts are sometimes the only connection between otherwise hostile and unfriendly nations.

 Homeland Security and Global Issues

Others feel homeland security must include global and ideological issues, such as freedom, self-determination, democracy, poverty, and more. This will increase everyone's homeland security.
