Description
The State Homeland Security Program (SHSP) is a key component of Georgia's preparedness strategy, supporting projects that address high-priority terrorism and catastrophic event risks. Administered by the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA/HS), SHSP funds planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercises that strengthen core capabilities across all mission areas: prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery. Investments must align with national priority areas—such as protection of soft targets, cybersecurity, and border crisis response—and are intended to enhance statewide and local resilience, interoperability, and the ability to prevent, prepare for, and respond to evolving threats.
