Overview of Wyoming Homeland Security

Joe Moore
Director
Wyoming Office of Homeland Security

This presentation provides a perspective on Wyoming Homeland Security, with a focus on the difficult challenges ahead for Wyoming residents and first responders.

In September 2001, our concept of national security and our responsibility to our first responders was completely changed. We were soon presented with a new and bold concept for the protection and safety of our homeland and to thwart terrorism. It is incumbent upon all our residents to support our first responders and to continue to remain vigilant and alert.

The presentation material explores:

· The Origins of the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security,
· Grant information,
· Supporting Wyoming’s first responders in rural communities,
· First Responders and Regional Response Teams, and
· Future initiatives.
