Shared Strategies for Homeland Security - Recap/Links

This past week, the  Denver Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) hosted the "Shared Strategies for Homeland Security" Conference.  The Conference drew in nearly 700 domestic and international subject matter experts from the first responder, medical/public health, private sector and citizen preparedness fields. We pitch in with the hosting effort and wrote a series of articles through the week on http://sharedstrategiesblog.com to help share the information from inside the Conference.  While we are in the process of uploading all the additional slides, videos and pulling together our notes for more articles, there were some articles posted as-it-happened that you might find interesting:
