EMH 290 - Foundations of Intelligence

3 Credits

The intelligence failures of 9/11 and the Global War on Terrorism that followed increased national attention on the Homeland. Recent terrorism events here and around the world have only heightened scrutiny of intelligence operations as they relate to and support homeland security measures. Large-scale natural and manmade disasters have further demonstrated the need for integration of the intelligence function into emergency management and response. This course will provide the student with an overview of the intelligence field, the application of intelligence processes to emergency management and homeland security scenarios, and the impact of state and local fusion centers on emergency response.
Prerequisites: EMH 101.
