Emergency management and homeland security are closely linked professional fields that both address a complex set of challenges related to hazard risk reduction and resilience capacity promotion. Hazards can be natural (e.g. floods), technological (e.g. cyber attacks) or intentional human acts (e.g. terrorism). How communities, nations and the international system deal with hazards and vulnerability is the core work of emergency management and homeland security professionals.
The underlying nature of these challenges means proactive, strategic approaches that cross disciplinary boundaries are needed for effective risk reduction and resilience promotion. A degree in emergency management and homeland security improves your professional readiness to coordinate emergency response, reduce hazards risk, promote public safety and strengthen community resilience. |
