"United States policy regarding international affairs, terrorism, and disasters has witnessed an ongoing tension between the security and emergency management points of view. Since the late 1940s, there has been recurring disagreement about the priority given to conflict events versus other types of hazards. Several events elevated the stakes in this debate and created additional urgency to find some sort of consensus about future priorities"-- Provided by publisher.
