PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
In light of recent events, the President of the United States of America proposed and was granted the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. This is the most significant transformation of the U.S. government in over a half-century. The creation of this cabinet-level agency is an important step in the President's national strategy for homeland security.
The Mission of the Department of Homeland Security is to:
Prevent terrorist attacks within the United States;
Reduce America's vulnerability to terrorism; and
Minimize the damage and recover from attacks that do occur.
The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for securing our nation's borders and transportation systems, manages who and what enters our homeland and works to prevent the entry of terrorists and the instruments of terrorism while ensuring the speedy flow of legitimate traffic.
The Department of Homeland Security ensures the preparedness of our nation's emergency response professionals, provides the federal government response and aids America's recovery from terrorist attacks and natural disasters.
The Department of Homeland Security leads the federal government's efforts in preparing for and responding to the full range of terrorist threats involving weapons of mass destruction.
The Department of Homeland Security merged under one roof the capability to identify and assess current and future threats to the homeland, map those threats against our current vulnerabilities, inform the President, issue timely warnings, and immediately take or effect appropriate preventive and protective measures.
Since September 11, 2001 all levels of government have cooperated like never before to strengthen aviation and border security, stockpile more medicines to defend against bio-terrorism, improve information sharing among our intelligence agencies, and deploy more resources and personnel to protect our critical infrastructures.
The Administration's approach to homeland security is based on principles of shared responsibility and partnership with the Congress, state and local governments, the private sector, and the American People.
This intensive five day program is designed to acquaint participants with an overview of relevant issues relating to their organization, whether in government services or in private industry. The program provides an excellent background on prevalent problems which may confront Safety and Security personnel and will provide suggested solutions.
