Homeland Security
Today I have read through
several articles concerning the Department of Homeland Security. I had heard
about it before, but I did know exactly why they had introduced this
department. The term refers to the reorganisation
of U.S. government agencies after the terrorist attack in 2001. They are making
a determined effort to prevent terrorist attacks, to minimize the damage of
attacks and to reduce the vulnerability of the U.S. to terrorism.
Who are those persons
working for Homeland Security? You can see them on TV occasionally.
They are responsible for the protection of the president. If you switch on your
TV, watching a speech of Obama, you will see plenty of broad-shouldered agents
in dark suits with a crew-cut. They are ready to sacrifice their lives for Obama
if necessary. In my opinion it is a very risky and dangerous job, knowing that
within seconds somebody could start shooting at the president and they would
have to sacrifice their live to safe the president.
Homeland Security is also
responsible for preparedness, response and recovery to natural disasters,
because it includes the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Federal
Emergency Agency is responsible for the organization of special forces in
critical situations. These forces include police, fire personnel and
doctors.
