Larrañaga Speaking at Homeland Defense Symposium

REM Risk Consultants’ Michael Larrañaga will be speaking at the inaugural Homeland Defense Academic Symposium next month. This virtual symposium will be held December 1-3 and will feature briefings, panel discussions, moderated paper presentations, keynote speakers, and a tabletop exercise focused on homeland defense issues at the unclassified level.  

Larrañaga will be speaking alongside John Comiskey of Monmouth University and Cam Carlson of the University of Alaska on the topic of Climate Security: A Pre-Mortem Scenario Planning Approach to Homeland Defense. A paper on this topic was published earlier this year (https://www.hsaj.org/articles/15605).

Academic and industry representatives from the United States and Canada were invited to attend the symposium. Registration is open, and will remain open until Nov. 24. Participants will gain insight into the NORAD and USNORTHCOM unique missions, capabilities and requirements, and be able to incorporate the most up-to-date information about the commands into their curriculums as appropriate. Symposium content includes research submissions from the 2019 call for proposals or abstracts from North American academicians in subject areas relevant to NORAD and USNORTHCOM missions, operations and procedures.
