Alabama Homeland Security Director Welcomes You

Dear Friend,

     Thank you for visiting the website of your Alabama Department of Homeland Security. Because you are taking the time to increase your awareness about homeland security and how to prepare your family to live in this unfortunate era of global terrorism, I consider you an equal partner in Alabama’s efforts to keep the scourge of terrorism out of our state.
     The mission of the Alabama Department of Homeland Security is to work with our federal, state, and local partners to prevent acts of terrorism in Alabama, to protect lives and safeguard property, and if required, to respond to any acts of terrorism occurring in Alabama. To accomplish this mission, we work closely with both public and private sector stakeholders in a wide range of disciplines: law enforcement, emergency management, emergency medical, fire services, public works, agriculture, public health, public safety communications, environmental management, military, transportation, and more.
     Please familiarize yourself with our website and use any information you determine relevant in preparing you or your loved ones. Increase your awareness of your surroundings and do not hesitate to contact local law enforcement officials to report suspicious activities.
     Your Alabama homeland security team stands ready to assist and serve you. Please feel free to contact us with your comments and concerns.
     As an equal partner, you share in Alabama’s efforts to fight this war against terrorism. Working together, we will succeed!

Sincerely,
Jim Walker
Director, Alabama Homeland Security
