As a result of recent national, state, and local experiences such as September 11, 2001, and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005, and Gustav in 2008, the United States is addressing topics such as government responsibility and accountability, coordinated response and recovery, and citizen awareness and preparedness. The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Department of Public Administration has programs to help individuals, and governments and the nation respond. Specifically we offer programs in Emergency Management and Homeland Security. Both programs are geared for individuals who are working full-time and cannot easily come to campus.
