| NATIONAL HOMELAND SECURITY CONFERENCE & EXPO
The Leading Scientific Conference Addressing All Aspects
Of Homeland Security Technology, Policy and Procedures
February 25-26, 2004
The Hilton at the Walt Disney World Resort
Lake Buena Vista, Florida
CONFERENCE OBJECTIVES:
THIS IS A CONFERENCE FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE, to help them understand the technical and regulatory aspects of Homeland Security; to assess undue risk to their well being and their organizations; and to prepare all individuals against any natural or man-made disaster.
Events of September 11, 2001, and the terrorist threat facing our nation, has forced most of us to re-examine our procedures and practices, and to assess vulnerability points in our immediate surrounding.
The reality is that industrial facilities and businesses need comprehensive Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) to prepare for natural and man-made disasters. This conference will teach you proven strategies. Managers, scientists, government officials and executives from all organizations are invited to attend this Conference and learn how to revise their emergency response procedures so that that they can prepare their organizations for undue risk. Learn the latest developments in Homeland Security Policies and their impact on your operations and understand your requirements for planning and reporting emergency response.
CONFERENCE TOPICS:
We have a great program planned for you. We have over 40 technical papers selected for publication in the Conference Proceedings. The Conference will focus primarily on the following topics:
- Aviation and Transportation Security Act
