PANEL ON HOMELAND SECURITY:  HOW CAN SCIENCE SOCIETIES HELP?



Sponsored by the Baltimore-Washington Chapter of the Health Physics Society;

the Potomac and Chesapeake Chapters of the American Industrial Hygiene

Association;

the Washington, DC, Section of the American Nuclear Society; and

Mid-Atlantic Chapter, American Association of Physicists in Medicine



Purpose of Panel:  To explore how scientific societies in the  DC area can

provide vital information and assist in the nation's revitalized efforts to

improve homeland security. Also to be explored is the question of what

actions can be recommended to members of the public for their own immediate

protection.  The scientists belonging to local Societies in this area have

an enormous combined expertise in methods of protection against chemical,

biological and radiological agents.  Many of them, including some who are

retired, have participated in the earliest as well as the latest programs

for organizing Federal, State and local and agency responses to catastrophic

events.  What is already being done and how can these human resources be

further tapped?  A May symposium is planned to present the progress stemming

from this meeting, as well as national efforts.
