Conference 2012

Events throughout the world and incidents closer to home have underscored the unrelenting need to enhance preparedness, expand prevention efforts, and improve response capabilities to terrorist threats against our nation. The 3rd Annual South Dakota Homeland Security Conference will bring together nationally renowned experts on emerging threats, highlight cutting edge technological resources and speakers will share their expertise on these topics and more.

Our goal is to provide training and information to response agencies from all levels of government and private sector stakeholders in regard to Homeland Security issues affecting the United States and South Dakota. The conference provides a forum for government and industry to foster the partnerships necessary to protect South Dakota from the potential disasters we face.

  • How we can gain from the collaboration of public and private sector partners.
  • Practical strategies and tools for inter-agency planning and preparedness for both man-made and natural disasters.
  • A better understanding of the Risk Management Framework and the approach to mitigation of the effect of disasters and improving the resiliency of the State of South Dakota.
