Homeland Security: The Road Ahead for Continued Success

Abstract

Homeland security protects the United States from hazards both man-made and natural. Executing this protective task is challenging. Terrorist threats are omnipresent and must be countered on a daily basis. Additionally, natural disasters are a pervasive threat to homeland security. Their magnitude and frequency appear to be increasing. When a disaster strikes, U.S. citizens deserve the best response possible. To strengthen homeland security, collaboration and unity of effort are essential from sharing of information in attempts to prevent a terrorist attack to ensuring assistance efforts are adequately coordinated when responding to a disaster. The following research project addresses these issues and provides recommendations on how to continue the success that has been achieved. Finally, it addresses areas that should be more closely monitored such as continuing collaborative efforts and ensuring unity of effort.
