Missouri's Office of Homeland Security

"One State, One Strategy"

In Missouri, we recognize that "homeland security" encompasses all of the public safety missions ranging from law enforcement, fire service, and first-responders, to emergency preparation, management, training and mitigation.

Homeland Security is also the responsibility of every citizen in our nation and state. We need an informed and prepared citizenry to help us do our jobs. We invite you to explore the many links provided in this web site to better prepare you to handle whatever manmade or natural threats we may encounter. United, we are strong.
