Following the recent tragedies in Russia, Jakarta and Madrid, and since 9/11, governments have greatly increased their homeland security funding. Clearly, countries must be able to prevent and deter attacks on their homeland as well as being able to detect impending danger before attacks occur. The emphasis on developing and strengthening homeland security strategy has never been greater.
This conference will identify and assess current and future threats, determining the potential impact on nations and assessing their vulnerabilities. This conference will also address border and transportation security, emergency preparedness and response, chemical, biological and nuclear counter-measures and infrastructure protection. Through country specific case studies, key lessons will be learned, showing best practice in homeland security strategy and policy.
