Description	Both before and immediately after 9/11, “homeland security” almost exclusively reflected rising concerns about terrorism. But American public and governmental expectations of homeland security eventually broadened, impelled in part by a series of events that included some of the worst naturally occurring domestic and international disasters in generations. In 2004, the Great Sumatra Earthquake and accompanying tsunami, and the devastating Pakistan/Kashmir earthquake the following year, killed hundreds of thousands in Asia. These events coincided with a rising global awareness of the formidable global pandemic potential of the avian (H5N1) influenza virus, as outbreaks among birds and humans occurred across Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the European Union.
