From the Paper:

"The ineffectiveness of this model in responding to both natural and manmade disasters since that time, though, has highlighted the need for identifying improved ways of delivering emergency response services when existing protocols and assumptions no longer apply or the resources upon which they rely are not available. Indeed, today, security is the guiding framework for understanding the modern world in the United States in terms of both law (e.g., the USA Patriot Act, 2001) and in terms of its stated official policy (i.e., the National Security Strategy of the USA, 2002) (Crampton, 2003)."
