R-TAC Homeland Security Policy Summit

About the Summit:

This May, the Radiological Threat Awareness Coalition will be holding its Homeland Security Policy Summit, the second in a series of forums on radiological security and national preparedness.

The event will be focused on current trends in federal homeland security spending as it relates to radiological threats and what adjustments to the spending structure need to be made in order to ensure better preparedness for communities and first responders. The Summit will feature a keynote address by Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, a panelist discussion with radiological security industry experts, and a policy debate featuring policymakers and thought leaders. Attendees will come from a wide range of backgrounds and include regulators, first responders, policymakers, and other key stakeholders.
