Module 4 - SLP

Physical Security: Protecting Our Nation

How safe are we? This question is pertinent for scholars seeking to understand post 9/11 Homeland Security reforms. The Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management was created to address the need for continually developing contingency strategy. At the heart of all homeland security contingencies are tools for assessing, analyzing, and developing team-based exercises to test team performance and contingency solutions. Though not required reading, it is suggested that you review the Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management as a supplement to your assigned reading. It is available in the Trident Online Library.

Your Task

Using IS-120.A: An Introduction to Exercises from EMI/FEMA as a process guide, develop a border activity desktop risk management mitigation exercise to be submitted to your instructor for review.

SLP Assignment Expectations

Support your work with peer-reviewed, government, and subject matter expert sources. Your paper will not be longer than 5 pages (excluding cover sheet and reference page).
