HLS 480 Homeland Recovery and Continuity of Operations
Major disasters and catastrophic events often impact homeland security on the human, infrastructure, and environmental levels. This course focuses on the concepts of recovery and continuity (ensuring restoration and maintenance of vital services) related to this impact. Roles and capabilities of civilian (non-governmental) and government agencies and related ethical issues are also essential elements of the course. Understanding these issues and how agencies interact will provide the student with a comprehensive view of recovery and continuity following major disasters or similar events that directly affect homeland security.
