HLS 440 Potential Threats to Homeland Security
This course introduces the student to "unconventional attacks" and critical challenges facing the homeland security. Students will study the threats from an "all hazards" approach and from the perspective of which hazards might be expected to occur. Biological weapons, nuclear weapons, cyber-attacks, climate and environmental changes, and transnational crime have been identified as the threats that must be addressed by the 22 departments and agencies working in concert to prevent, protect from, respond to, and recover from an adversarial act against the United States.
