Utilizing K-12 school and higher education programs to incorporate homeland security topics for public education.

Abstract:

:The broad based mission statements of public institutions whose charters are to educate the public is analyzed so that common threads pertinent to homeland security action items can be correlated with the public education scope. The intent of the coordination is to ensure that the prevention component in addition to the preparedness issues of homeland security is incorporated into the educational system with short and long term goals.
