Mission

The Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) is dedicated to the preparation and protection of the State’s citizens, communities, resources, economy, and infrastructure from threats and acts of terrorism, natural disasters, and other emergencies.

Budget Highlights

The FY 2017 Executive Budget recommends $1.519 billion in support for the Division ($154.3 million in the General Fund; $1.254 billion in Special Revenue - Federal Funds; and $110.9 million in Special Revenue - Other Funds). Local Assistance funding is increased due to the restoration of a $600 million federal disaster assistance appropriation. State Operations is decreased due to the elimination of a non-recurring Executive initiative. All appropriations for the Superstorm Sandy recovery effort have been reappropriated and spending from these appropriations is expected to continue for several years.

The Executive Budget includes new appropriations of $75 million to further develop interoperable public safety communications, a funding level equivalent to FY 2016.

The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 478 FTEs for the Division, an increase of 12 FTEs from FY 2016. The increase in workforce is attributable to 12 federally funded FTEs dedicated to Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts.
