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 security of the Homeland. Terrorism events in the United States and around the world have underscored the importance of intelligence operations and information sharing as they relate to and support homeland security measures. Increasingly large-scale natural disasters have further demonstrated the need for integration of the intelligence function into emergency management and response operations. This course will provide the student with an overview of the intelligence field, the application of intelligence processes related to emergency management and homeland security at the operations level, and the importance of fusion centers to information sharing between the local, state, and federal levels.
