Emergency Management Homeland Security Technologies

Catalog description

The emergence of computing and telecommunications technologies in the latter part of the 20th Century and the beginning of the 21st Century has dramatically transformed emergency management and homeland security. The applications of technology will enhance the acquisition of information and resources with the use of technology in all phases of decision making. Mobile wireless networks and smart phones/tablets will serve as the backbone for communications and offer access to a variety of resources at low cost to the emergency manager. As a result of a greater interconnectedness of public, private, and non-profit agencies, traditional management tools will be expanded and the ability to analyze more complex issues in time of crisis will be more available to decision-makers.
