Description
The State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) provides federal resources to strengthen the safety and security of Wyoming communities. Administered in Wyoming by the Wyoming Office of Homeland Security (WOHS) and funded by DHS/FEMA, it supports risk-driven, capabilities-based strategies that address security gaps while sustaining existing homeland security capabilities. Its purpose is to build, sustain, and deliver capabilities needed to prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to terrorism and other complex threats.
Investments are guided by Wyoming’s strategic homeland security goals and the National Preparedness Goal. The program supports a broad range of terrorism preparedness activities, with emphasis on national priority areas addressing current threats. These include government cybersecurity, crowded-place protection, intelligence sharing, domestic terrorism prevention, and community resilience.
