Terrorism and Homeland Security

(Formerly EDM 212) This course focuses on helping students understand the issues relating to modern day terrorism and how government responds to such events. This course will also introduce students to disasters which often impact our country. Emphasis will be placed on helping students understand the concept of unified response and how multiple, diverse organizations will interact to respond and mitigate such events. Additional emphasis will involve an in-depth understanding of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and how this system is used by emergency responders. Student groups will work to plan and solve issues related to disaster events of varying complexity.
