Disaster and terrorism scenarios will be among the topics federal, state and local officials will be reviewing next month at the first biennial Kansas Homeland Security Summit.

The event, which runs Dec. 8-10 in Wichita, is touted as a chance for all emergency agencies to gather and review coordination.

Among the topics will be Middle Eastern intelligence and terrorist organizations, emerging domestic threats and addressing vulnerabilities. Homeland security leaders focusing on manmade threats also will hear about improvised explosive devices — better known as the roadside bombs — that have killed or maimed hundreds of U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
