  15. Module 1 Summary • The Department of Homeland Security works to prevent terrorist attacks, reduce vulnerabilities, minimize damage, and aid in recovery operations. • National preparedness represents a continuous effort to develop procedures, policies, and training to maximize capabilities to prevent and respond to domestic incidents. • Homeland protection procedures should become a normal part of everyday campus life. 1.4.1.A

  22. Discussion Questions • Why is an all-hazards approach necessary? • What purpose do the National Response Plan (NRP) and the National Incident Management System (NIMS) serve for higher education institutions? 2.1.3 Activity - Questions

  23. Discussion Answers • An all-hazards approach is necessary to manage domestic incidents. • Higher education institutions must use national plans as a basis to develop internal systems to match their needs and to interface with other agencies in a consistent manner. 2.1.3 Activity - Answers
