Departmental Information

There are three key areas to Emergency Services

Emergency Services and Homeland Security

Homeland Security's four divisions (Border and Transportation Security; Emergency Preparedness and Response; Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Countermeasures; and Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection) are designed to focus resources and efforts across local, state, and national agencies and the services of fire protection, emergency medical services, law enforcement, emergency management and others. Responding to this leadership initiative, the Institute of Emergency Services and Homeland Security (IESHS) at Utah Valley State College will work to connect existing programs and security efforts into a cohesive body of working partners.
