“All-Hazards Approach to Homeland Security: Mitigation, Response,
Recovery, & Resilience”
In the face of the growing number of natural disasters hitting the U.S. in recent years, as well as the ever-present danger of man-made threats, the 2013 Homeland Security Symposium will present diverse outlooks on reducing risk and speed of infrastructure recovery for our critical infrastructure and how industry can support the federal government in the implementation of its policy.

Mission & Purpose
