This book allows the reader to develop a conceptual understanding of the legal foundations of homeland security and emergency management (HSEM) by presenting the law and policy documents we have established to address "all hazards, " both terrorism and natural disasters. These are the primary sources! The book demonstrates that HSEM involves many specialties and that it must be viewed expansively and in the long-term. One of the special features of the book is its topic-by-topic approach. In this book's unique format, each chapter is titled and contains information about a specific subject and includes only those portions of the various documents and statutes that affect that particular subject. For example, there are separate chapters devoted to Agriculture and Food, Critical Infrastructure Protection, and Transportation. The Third Edition is more streamlined with fewer long quotations from the statutes and policy documents. In addition to extensive updates on previous topics and updated references and links, new content includes: space law, comparative drone law with Japan, and HSEM in Puerto Rico"--
