After the terrorist attacks in the year 2001 of September 11, the department of
homeland security and state offices of the security of the homeland were created in a larger
scale (Brians et al., 2011). Some of the new threats for this security includes the cyber
attacks, the cartels of the Mexican drugs, terrorist attacks of the lone wolf and also the threats
from the aviation security that has furthermore exploded the role and the scope of the
organization of the homeland security and personnel. As per the current study, the
identification of the sub disciplines and the threats that needs to be triggered among the
upcoming 10 years are the security against the evolving threat of the terrorism, investigation
and interdiction of the threat on an early basis, prevention of the mass casualty attacks (West,
2012). Targeting the new homeland security and the challenges related to the emergency
management in the United States in the upcoming 10 years, it is thus important for the
country to safeguard and secure the cyberspace, to strengthen the security and the resilience
related to the critical infrastructure and the enforcements of the advance law and the reporting
of the capabilities (U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 2010). Further strengthening of
the eco system, and implementation of the strategy for the management of the biological
hazards and risks are some of the major factors that needs to be addressed for the
management of the challenges in the country. This response claim targets the trends that is
believed to get occurred in the emergency response and the homeland security in the
upcoming 10 years.
