Public safety involves the prevention

of and protection from events that

could endanger the safety of the

general public from significant danger,general public from significant danger,

injury/harm, or damage, such as

crimes or disasters (natural or man-

made).

Public safety in the ICT parlance is

being talked about only in terms of

Command and Control Centers and

Safe Cities and misses out of its

purview the rural India and nonpurview the rural India and non

serious emergency situations related

to day to day Public Order and

Security

Homeland Security

merged into Homeland Security?

� How did all these organizations merge so seamlessly � How did all these organizations merge so seamlessly

into one command and control structure?
