After September 11th attacks, everybody has been wondering what new science and technologies should be developed in order to discover future attacks, mitigate impacts of other attacks, and in general to be prepared for any situation that could put our life in danger.  Many International organizations are collaborating among government agencies, academic research centers, and private sector businesses and looking for new information technologies that can help organizations prepare for, respond to and mitigate disasters including natural or terrorist attacks involving chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons.  But government and agencies have been very careful on revealing information to press and communities. 

Some of the recent technologies that have been developed lately are:

· Recent and important developments would be those designed to increase the security of chemical agent stockpiles. For this matter earth-covered, reinforced igloos will be built to protect the mustard agent stockpile that are stored underground without incident since WWII-era. After this construction the stockpiles will be moved into these structures and stored until the mustard agent stockpile ca be safely neutralized.

· FEMA has announced that Fire departments especially those in New York would receive funds that will be used for new personal protective equipment and firefighting equipment for vehicles. These equipments will provide departments with some of the most technological and basic gear, including hoses, ladders, and ventilation equipments.

· Army commanders are testing a system that digitally tracks the battle while the tactical operations center is being torn down and moved to another location.   This system will give the commander flexibility to command and control from an aerial platform, and allows him to maneuver around the battlefield and reposition quickly. 

· The Federal Aviation Administration is obtaining new equipment for passenger screening and baggage screening and the transport Security Agency is working with Government to give training to screeners and baggage screening techniques to employees at airports because there are still loopholes in this matter. 

· Finally as the world becomes more interconnected and interdependent, satellite imagery availability and wireless communication capabilities are the next form to help emergency rescue teams to minimize fatalities and communities to recover faster.  New specialized computer software and hardware as well as high-resolution satellite images are being developed to help emergency personnel to respond to exact location where the disaster had happened.
