I thought homeland security was a Federal issue. Why is California involved?
Federal, State, and local governments are working together to protect Americans by preventing terrorist attacks in our homeland. While the Federal government maintains the primary responsibility for responding to the threat posed by traditional nation-state adversaries, the threat of terrorism requires the involvement of public safety and security organizations at all levels of government. OHS is the primary interface between the United States Department of Homeland Security and all State and local entities in California with homeland security responsibilities.
