A small sample of security, safety, and leadership resources
Coaching and mentoring.
Using the Recession to Embrace Organizational Change.
Some deep thinking about the impact of surveillance on society.
The Do It Yourself Scholar is a pretty interesting concept for life long learners with more time than money.
Free online emergency management training.
Snopes is a handy site to use to debunk and deflate those silly chain email rumors without wasting a lot of time.
Minnesota School Safety Center.
The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota will provide assistance if you encounter an injured bird of prey - hawks, eagles, falcons, owls, etc. - at your site. You can call animal control, but if you get through to anyone they'll refer you to the Raptor Center.
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is the "next big thing" after the Corporate Security Officer (CSO) concept.

Another Severe Weather Resource
In case you haven't seen this one yet...
Unlike the TV news websites the NOAA website updates its radar images every 5 minutes instead of every 15 or so, and even shows tornado warnings, severe thunder storm warnings, and other hazards with a 5 minute window. There's a little button that say "Auto Update is..." Make sure it says "Auto Update Is On" so you don't have to refresh the webpage manually to update the radar image.
