Homeland Security for the Private Sector ― A Handbook

Following government documents penned by Homeland Security directors Thomas Ridge and Michael Chertoff and President George W. Bush introducing the scope of homeland security, the bulk of this text profiles private sector best practices for preparing for and responding to homeland security emergencies. The 39 chapters cover such topics as anthrax protection for employees, aviation security, biometric identification, bomb threats and physical security planning, computer software security, electronic access control systems, federal disaster assistance programs, hazards analysis, hospital preparedness, land use and site development programs, maritime security and safety, perimeter management operations, public access management, robots and surveillance, and urban search and rescue operations.
