The events of September 11 demonstrated the vulnerability of the U.S. and other nations around the globe to terrorist activity. Working with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, other federal, state and local government agencies, and clients in the private sector, we are leading the effort to protect the country against catastrophic attacks and establish emergency preparedness and response programs.The combined expertise of our EG&G and URS Divisions is unmatched, covering a wide range of homeland security consulting and advisory services. We provide antiterrorism, threat and vulnerability risk assessments for the nation's buildings, transportation infrastructure and power, water and food supply and design force protection and security systems. Our mitigation planning and emergency preparedness services help prepare local communities, government agencies and businesses alike to respond to another terrorist attack. We also provide specialized emergency response training to Department of Energy and National Security Administration staff nationwide, other federal agencies and the military, as well as law enforcement officers, firefighters and medical professionals. The EG&G Division also participates in critically important programs to reduce the global threat of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction (WMD). This includes operating and maintaining chemical agent disposal facilities and providing advisory services for dismantling other WMDs. |
