MILLERTON, N.Y. , Jan. 6, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Grey House Publishing announces the publication of the First Edition of The Grey House Homeland Security Directory. This directory, with 700 pages and 2,621 listings, is clearly the most comprehensive resource for information about homeland security on the market today. It is the resource for both the government's and private industry's response to the national crisis.
This 2004 edition presents a wide range of information that is scattered and hard to find elsewhere, providing readers with carefully arranged chapters and up-to-date, detailed listings. It includes 1,175 informative profiles of Federal and State agencies, 1,166 private company profiles, 280 homeland security industry resources, along with the names of 11,285 key contacts.
The Grey House Homeland Security Directory is organized into five sections: Federal Agencies, State Agencies, Companies, Industry Resources, and Indexes. Finding information on homeland security has never been easier, thanks to the careful arrangement of data in this directory. Each of the 19 chapters in the Federal Agency section opens with the Department Headquarters listing for ready-reference, and the other agencies are grouped by similar mission. Each listing offers a clear, concise description that includes the agency's purpose as it relates to homeland security.
No other field, in recent history, has become so vital and so visible in so short a time than homeland security, causing the United States government to respond swiftly and drastically, reorganizing 22 Federal Agencies, creating the Department of Homeland Security, and embarking on further government transitions. The private sector is also reacting to the enormous need that has arisen for a wide range of homeland security products and services.
Arranged alphabetically by state, the chapters of the State Agency section include such categories as Emergency Management Services, State Police, Port Authorities, Army and Air National Guards, and many more. The agency listings, both federal and state, include thousands of executive names, many with a direct phone number and e-mail address.
The Company section provides the names of 1,166 private companies that provide products and services used in the homeland security industry. Users will find everything from Access Control Locking Systems to Work Station Security Software. The company profiles include descriptions and product listings, as well as contact information such as address, phone & fax numbers, web site, and key executives. Not only is this the most current and comprehensive data available, but it is arranged so that important information is easy to access.
The Grey House Homeland Security Directory's Industry Resources section contains a variety of information resources that provide a springboard for further research in the industry. Including Associations, Periodicals, Shows & Seminars and Directories & Databases, each resource provides name, address, phone, fax, web site, description, and key officials.
Two indexes, the Key Personnel Index and the Products & Services Index, organize the listings alphabetically, making it easy to locate specific products, services, and people. Each personnel entry includes the name of the affiliated company, and each product & service listing designates which companies manufacture or offer it.
This directory will be invaluable to anyone concerned about or involved with this rapidly expanding industry. As the forces surrounding homeland security continue to strengthen and further define themselves, this volume will prove indispensable as the premier reference directory on the subject.
