transnational crime, and reassessment of border theory. Under the
second section, ‘Resilient Homeland,’ the reader can find
information on topics such as: a profile of the resilient citizen,
lessons learned from the response to the pandemic, disaster
recovery and preparedness, mistrust of public health as a threat to
resilience, community disaster recovery, and top cybersecurity
concerns.
