Complete guide to understanding homeland security law
The newly revised and updated Third Edition of Foundations of Homeland Security and Emergency Management enables readers to develop a conceptual understanding of the legal foundations of homeland security and emergency management (HSEM) by presenting the primary source law and policy documents we have established to address "all hazards, " both terrorism and natural disasters. The book demonstrates that HSEM involves many specialties and that it must be viewed expansively and in the long-term.
