All Hands Consulting supported the National UASI Conference with program support for the first five years of the conference (2007-2011). While we no longer support the conference, we will continue to support information sharing for UASIs and other homeland security and emergency management program staff. This group and the UrbanAreas.org web site will continue to support UASIs in the future. « less
