Public health and bio-defence
By Christopher Boucek
1 Mar 2004
Current public health practices present some very useful and applicable lessons to the present thinking on homeland security. This is particularly the case when it comes to civilian bio-defence preparation, and the mitigation of infectious disease outbreaks. Not only can lessons learned from public health practitioners aide domestic security planners in preventing intentional epidemics but they can also illuminate areas that have heretofore received little attention from traditional security-minded officials.
