University at Albany Targets Emergency Response

Call it Disaster U: The University at Albany, a State University of New York institution, has developed its own sort of emergency response to the infrastructure, environmental and national security problems in the age of terror threats and climate change. In the capital of a state hit by both the 9/11 attacks and 2012's Hurricane Sandy, the College of Emergency Management, Homeland Security and Cybersecurity is the first of its kind in the nation. At the college, students learn how to handle emergencies, including prevention, immediate response and dealing with the aftermath.
