Addressing Threats to the Nation's Cybersecurity
This brochure provides an overview of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's [FBI] responsibilities in regards to cybersecurity. "The FBI has a unique dual responsibility, to prevent harm to national security as the nation's domestic intelligence agency and to enforce federal laws as the nation's principal law enforcement agency. These roles are complementary, as threats to the nation's cybersecurity can emanate from nation-states, terrorist organizations, and transnational criminal enterprises; with the lines between sometimes blurred. The FBI's unified mission brings all lawful investigative techniques and legal tools together in combating these threats. This approach facilitates information sharing and ensures responsible stewardship of resources by collocating talent, tools, and institutional knowledge in a single organization."

Cybersecurity for Executives
"In the era of continuous compromises, business executives are faced with the growing threat of malicious actors targeting and successfully penetrating their defenses at an alarming rate. Cyber-attacks are making the news daily, especially when they target major retailers, banks, and government agencies. Increasingly, businesses are relying on the connectivity (always online) and productivity (customization/remote access) of their information systems. Businesses are challenged with trying to deliver services to an expanding consumer base while trying to balance security with the convenience of usability. Connectivity, productivity and convenience are critical in the 21st century, but if not implemented properly, they can have devastating effects to security. Striking a balance between security and usability is not easy and is a constantly evolving process."

Role of Environment in One Health security and National Health Security
"Across the world, ministries of environment and natural resources and/or environmental protection agencies have different mandates and missions, but many of them focus on the protection of the environment with the goal of protecting public health. Environmental health practitioners monitor food safety from farm to table: are responsible for vector and vermin monitoring and control; and monitor microbial and chemical pollution of the land, water, and air. Natural resource mangers monitor ecosystems and landscapes and the creatures that occupy them. They often see trends in the natural world before they are seen in the urban world. For example, unusual wildlife morbidity and mortality can indicate presence of pathogenic or toxic agents that could potentially be detrimental to human health. The environment sector is a valuable contributor in the promotion of population health and well-being, particularly in 'health security' efforts to prevent and prepare for endemic, epidemic, and pandemic threats."

Flying Under the Radar: Wildlife Trafficking in the Air Transport Sector
"Environmental crime is estimated to be worth between $91 and 258 billion, with wildlife crime making up $7 to 23 billion of the total, and is currently estimated to be growing at two to three times the speed of the global economy. Over the past few years, myriad studies and reports have examined the economic and environmental devastation wreaked by wildlife crime, as well as its intertwining links to transnational criminal networks. Few studies, however, have focused on the transport systems used by wildlife traffickers, despite the large benefits that traffickers have gained from the increasing interconnectedness of global infrastructure and transport systems. Flying Under the Radar examines wildlife trafficking through the air transport sector, and is designed to support law enforcement and the private sector's efforts to stem the hidden flow of illegal wildlife through their jurisdictions and supply chains."

Federal Plan for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research: Fiscal Year 2017
"This year has seen several significant changes in OFCM's [Office of Federal Coordinator for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research's] approach to interagency coordination. For the first time in over a decade, the Federal Committee for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research (FCMSSR) held both of its expected semiannual meetings and the Interdepartmental Committee for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research (ICMSSR) held all four quarterly meetings. This increased interest and participation in interagency coordination led to progress in several key areas, including: [1] Integrating the Executive Steering group of the National Earth Systems Prediction Capability into the Federal meteorological services coordination structure. [2] Establishing a team to improve the Federal Plan. [3] Providing increased support to the Office of Science and Technology Policy in their efforts to coordinate space weather services and research. [4] Culminating long term efforts to establish a back-up data pathway among the five Federal numerical weather and ocean modeling production centers, increasing the resilience of the Federal Weather Enterprise's capability to provide this critical service. [5] Coordinating disaster assessment and measurement efforts, exemplified in efforts following Hurricane Matthew and in executing Civil Air Patrol flights over severe-storm impacted areas and potential glacier dammed lake flood regions."

Seat at the Table: Working with the Disaster Workforce
"This course prepares librarians on how to work with first responders, including public safety, fire/rescue, public health department, local health care facilities, and emergency planners. Libraries have a critical role to play in disaster preparation and recovery, but they need a seat at the table with the right people, and they need to have something to offer. During and after a disaster are not the times for libraries to learn how to work with local, state, and federal responders. The time to build and develop these relationships is before a disaster strikes. It is critical to have a seat at the table before, during, and after a disaster. This course will cover the basics of initiating and developing relationships with all relevant local, state, and federal officials and agencies, as well as with emergency responders. This self-paced course fulfills one of the requirements of the Medical Library Association (MLA) Disaster Information Specialization, Advanced Level. Students will earn four MLA Continuing Education (CE) credits."
