NCTC Releases 2009 Counterterrorism Calendar

NCTC Releases 2009 Counterterrorism Calendar

The National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) today announced the release of its 2009 counterterrorism calendar. The calendar, popular with a broad spectrum of federal, state, and local first responders; homeland security professionals; policy makers; and counterterrorism experts, is now available via NCTC’s website at www.nctc.gov as both a downloadable PDF and a multimedia website.

NCTC has published a “daily planner” print version of its counterterrorism calendar since 2005. This year’s print calendar contains 160 pages of information on known terrorist groups, individual terrorists, and technical information on topics such as biological and chemical threats and explosives. The 2009 edition contains more counterterrorism information than any previous edition, as well as the most comprehensive index to date, making it easier for law enforcement and first responders to find the information they need about everything from Anthrax to VBEIDs (Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices).

The online version of the calendar provides the public with user-friendly access to the same information, with the addition of locator maps, photographs, and lists of helpful links specific to each threat area. Special features of the site include an interactive counterterrorism timeline which allows users to explore key dates, including the anniversaries of terrorism-related incidents dating as far back as 1950, and a new interactive map feature that allows users to mouse-over terrorist group names and see their corresponding location(s).

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
