Critical Infrastructure: Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness

Keeping pace with changes in laws and policies made by the Department of Homeland Security, this new edition continues to provide an invaluable resource for emergency managers and disaster response professionals as well as public safety officials and those involved with maintaining infrastructure. It adds information to reflect the development of the Incident Command System (ICS) and the total revision of National Response Plan (NRP), which were implemented in 2008. The book expands sections on the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Homeland Security Presidential Directives and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisitions Systems (SCADA) security initiatives.
