INTRODUCTION

In 2003, the Nevada Legislature created the Nevada Commission on Homeland Security in response to

the terror attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001. As described in Chapter 239C of the

Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS 239C), the Nevada Commission on Homeland Security (Commission) is

tasked with several responsibilities directed toward making recommendations to the Governor, the

Legislature, local governments, private business, and citizens about actions and measures that may be

taken to protect the citizens and visitors to this State from potential acts of terrorism and related

emergencies.

The duties of the Commission include:

Making recommendations to the Governor, Legislature, State agencies, local governments,

businesses, and private citizens about actions to be taken to protect against terrorism;

Making recommendations, through the Division of Emergency Management, on the use of

money received by the State from homeland security grants or related programs;

Proposing goals and programs to counteract acts of terrorism;

Ensuring the safety of Nevada’s residents and the critical infrastructures of the State by

identifying the susceptibility of those infrastructures to terrorist acts;

Examining the use and deployment of response agencies;

Reviewing the interoperability of the State’s communications systems and the efficacy of

emergency (911) telephone systems, including establishment of a State plan for the compatibility

and interoperability of the State’s information and communication systems for response agencies

and advising the Governor about such systems with particular emphasis on public safety radio

systems;

Coordinating between government agencies to avoid duplication; and

Submission of an annual briefing to the Governor on the assessment of the State’s preparedness,

including an assessment of response plans and vulnerability assessments of utilities, and public

and private entities.

To summarize, the Commission has the responsibility to advise the Governor and the Legislature on any

and all means that will improve the safety and security of the State, our residents, and visitors.

To meet this responsibility, the Commission continues its close partnership with the Nevada Department

of Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management and Office of Homeland Security. The resulting

cooperation has allowed the Commission to move forward in its defined duties that are outlined in the

following pages of this report.

OVERVIEW AND COMMISSION ACTIVITIES REPORT

January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016

The Nevada Commission on Homeland Security (Commission) continued to support funding of risk-

based counter-terrorism and public safety programs and projects in Nevada. The overall amount of

federal homeland security grant funding available to Nevada to address preparedness and prevention

activities remained virtually flat in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2016 from the prior year. In FFY 2016,

Nevada received a total of $6,696,500.00 in Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) funds

representing a $38,000 decrease from the FFY 2015 HSGP funding allocation.

Nevada’s FFY 2016 HSGP award included $3,734,500.00 allocated to the State Homeland Security

Program (SHSP) in addition to $2,962,000.00 awarded to the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI).

The Commission met in regular session six times in 2016.1

Throughout this series of meetings, the

Commission heard reports and briefings from local, state, and federal government officials including

status updates on current HSGP funded projects and direction to stakeholders on efforts to address local

and statewide preparedness efforts. The Commission itself held no closed sessions in 2016; however it

did authorize a closed session of the Cyber Security Committee on December 13, 2016.

Commission Meeting Overview

On January 15, 2016, the Commission was briefed with an overview of the Homeland Security Grant

Program (HSGP) process, the Commission’s previously established FFY 2015 priorities, and the

development of FFY 2016 priorities. This overview emphasized the Threat and Hazard Identification

Risk Assessment (THIRA) as well as the State Preparedness Report (SPR) as drivers to the FFY 2016

HSGP process. Using this information, Commission members were asked to provide individual input to

rank-prioritize core capabilities for the FFY 2016. Additional emphasis was placed on addressing the

concerns surrounding the effect of federal Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) rankings for Nevada’s

urban area and the work the Governor, the State of Nevada, emergency management partners, and UASI

partners are putting forth to aggressively pursue changes to the formula that continually places Nevada

on the verge of not obtaining UASI funding.

On February 12, 2016, the Commission set project and capabilities priorities for the FFY 2016 HSGP

funding allocation in line with federal grant guidance and Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8) which

1 The Commission met on January 15, February 12, April 15, June 23, September 22, and December 19, 2016.

describes the Nation’s approach to preparing for threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the

security of the United States. The objective of PPD-8 is to facilitate an integrated, all-of-nation risk

informed, capabilities based approach to preparedness. This is done through a shared responsibility

throughout all levels of government, including the private sector, nonprofits, and individual citizens.

PPD-8 depends on close involvement of state and local government and stakeholders to work with the

federal government to strengthen the security and resilience of the United States through systematic

preparation for the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation, including

acts of terrorism, cyber-attacks, pandemics, and catastrophic natural disasters.

The primary sources of information assisting in this ranking of priorities came from the 2015 SPR,

which is an annual self-assessment of state preparedness capabilities. Using the 2015 SPR data, and

analyzing the perceived gaps, risks, and needs relative to the core capabilities, the Commission

established five priorities for the Nevada Homeland Security Working Group (HSWG) to use in the

identification of eligible projects for FFY 2016 HSGP funding. The five priorities that were established

by the Commission, ranked highest to lowest, are:

Additional briefings included a status update on the Cyber Security Committee (CSC), and an overview

of the Student Visa process in Nevada, a discussion on re-establishing outreach efforts to rural

communities for Commission-related initiatives, and lastly an update on response measures in place for

hazardous and radiological waste sites in Nevada.

On April 15, 2016, the Commission approved the Finance Committee’s recommendation to accept six

HSGP Project Change Requests (PCR’s) including NCHS-117 through NCHS-122 for a total of

$238,511.54. Using the established priorities set at the previous meeting, the Commission also adopted

the 2016 Finance Committee recommendations to fund 21 SHSP projects in addition to accepting the

UASI recommendation to fund seven projects as presented by the Urban Area Working Group

(UAWG). This allowed the State Administrative Agency (SAA) to submit the 2016 Nevada HSGP

COMMITTEE ACTIVITIES REPORT

This section of the Annual Report of Governor summarizes the activities of the committees established

by the Commission including the Critical Infrastructure Committee (CIC), Nevada Critical Infrastructure

Protection Plan Subcommittee (NCIPP), Cyber Security Committee (CSC), Finance Committee,

Legislative and Bylaws Committee, and State Homeland Security Strategy (SHSS) Advisory

Committee. Additionally, it includes the Governor’s Executive Order Committees that advise and make

recommendations to the Commission including the Nevada Homeland Security Working Group

(HSWG), the Nevada Public Safety Communications Committee (NPSCC), NPSCC Statewide 911

Coordinator Subcommittee, the NPSCC Grants Subcommittee, and the Nevada State Citizen Corps

Council. The last section summarizes the health preparedness activities of the Nevada Health Division

and the Nevada Hospital Association. The agendas for all scheduled public meetings of the

Commission, its Committees and Subcommittees, and advisory Committees to the Commission are

located in Appendix D.

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE (CIC)

The Critical Infrastructure Committee (CIC) is tasked with ensuring that the critical infrastructure assets

of the State of Nevada are identified, properly cataloged, and protected in order to assist in decreasing

any compromise of the critical infrastructure system that could potentially have a debilitating impact on

the state either directly, through interdependency, or cascading effects from acts of terror or natural

hazards.

The CIC conducts reviews of federal Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) guidance and programs to

ensure they are in line with state and local strategies. The Committee reports to the Commission on the

critical infrastructure (CI) programs within Nevada and how well these programs correlate with DHS

guidance and the Commission’s intent. Additionally, the CIC conducts periodic reviews of state and

federal law to identify gaps and obstacles affecting CI protection efforts and makes recommend changes

in state or local law to the Commission as appropriate. The CIC did not meet in 2016, and membership

remained constant with no changes.

8

NEVADA CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION PLAN (NCIPP) SUBCOMMITTEE

The National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) sets forth a broad framework in which critical

infrastructure can be identified, and plans can be developed ensuring that such infrastructure is

protected. As part of that strategy to manage risk as part of the overall framework protecting the

resiliency of the nation’s critical infrastructure and key resources, the NIPP recognized key roles that

states must play in the identification and securing of critical infrastructure within their own borders.

Building on this framework, the NCIPP Subcommittee, as a subcommittee under the CIC, is tasked to

provide a roadmap for the State of Nevada, local government, and the private sector to ensure the safety

and security of critical infrastructure and key resources vital to Nevada. The NCIPP did not meet in

2016, and membership remained constant.

CYBER SECURITY COMMITTEE

The Cyber Security Committee (CSC) is responsible for providing advice and recommendations to the

Commission on Nevada’s cybersecurity risk, cyber-threat preparedness posture, statewide cybersecurity

plans and projects, cyber related training and exercises, and enhancement of security awareness through

education, public awareness, and engagement with public and private sector partners.

Seated in 2016, the CSC currently consists of 19 appointees, many of which encompass expertise in

cybersecurity, information technology, and critical infrastructure from multiple jurisdictions including

federal, state, county, city, and private industry. The CSC met three times in 2016, including an

authorized Closed Session pursuant to NRS 239C.140[2].2

On March 8, 2016, the CSC was briefed with a complete overview of the HSGP process and tasked with

the development of priorities and objectives as a tool for reviewing and rank-prioritizing HSGP projects

with a cybersecurity component. The establishment of priorities to which all cyber-related projects

would be vetted was adopted by the CSC including:

Alignment with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity Framework;

Avoidance of conflict with Improving Critical Infrastructure Cyber Security under Presidential

Executive Order 13636;

Review and ranking of HSGP projects for regional and/or statewide impact;

100% completion of project(s) within the allotted performance period of the grant;

Sustainability of the project long-term;

Compliance with the Commission’s priorities and direction; and

Compliance with Federal and State grant guidance

Using this matrix, the CSC reviewed a total of 12 FFY 2016 HSGP project proposals totaling

$2,823,853.00. Of these projects, only six were deemed to meet the established priority criteria, and

2 The CSC met in regular session on March 8, September 7, and in Closed Session on December 13, 2016.

9

those six projects were rank-prioritized, per funding stream, for further review and consideration by the

Nevada Homeland Security Working Group (HSWG). Pursuant to NRS 239C.170[1], the CSC voted to

approve Nevada Lieutenant Governor Mark Hutchison as the Chair of the CSC, and Joe McDonald,

Chief Security Officer, Switch, Ltd., as Vice-Chair.

On September 7, 2016, the CSC was briefed on Presidential Policy Directive 41 (PPD-41) released on

July 26, 2016, that sets forth guiding principles that govern the Federal Government’s response to a

cyber incident occurring in government or private sector entities. Of significance is the establishment of

lead Federal agencies and architecture for broader coordination in Federal response, and guiding

principles including shared responsibility, risk-based response, respecting affected entities, unity of

governmental effort, and enabling restoration and recovery. The CSC made the determination that the

effects of PPD-41 may be considered in the examination of future projects for Nevada. Additional

emphasis was placed on development of Nevada’s cyber posture in reducing risk and utilizing the CSC

not only as a grants project review body to develop unity with regard to cyber efforts across the state,

but also to coordinate a baseline approach using best practices to address cyber security issues facing the

state.

On December 13, 2016, the CSC was briefed on the current HSGP status in addition to the upcoming

FFY 2017 HSGP process as it relates to cyber-related projects. With the former approval by the

Commission on September 22, 2016, and pursuant to NRS 239C.140, the CSC voted to hold a closed

session to receive a cyber security briefing.

Membership remained constant with no changes during 2016.

FINANCE COMMITTEE

The Finance Committee reviews the various homeland security and related sub-grant applications,

program change requests, deobligation requests, and makes recommendations to the Commission on use

of these funds. The Finance Committee works with the Nevada Division of Emergency Management in

its role as the State Administrative Agency (SAA) administering homeland security grants (SAA). NRS

239C.170 requires the establishment of a Finance Committee to assist the Commission in its duties by

reviewing these programs and making recommendations to the Commission as a whole. The Finance

Committee met on three occasions in 2016.3

On April 7, 2016, the Finance Committee reviewed and approved a funding recommendation to the

Commission for five FFY 2014 HSGP project change requests in addition to one FFY 2015 HSGP

project change request for a combined total of $238.511.54. This recommendation included projects

NCHS-117 through NCHS-122. Upon receiving an update on the current status of the FFY 2016 HSGP

funding allocations, and the process used by the HSWG and the Urban Area Working Group (UAWG)

in assembling the FFY 2016 project recommendations, the Finance Committee approved 21 SHSP

and/or SHSP/UASI projects in addition to seven UASI-only projects to be moved forward to the

Commission for final approval encompassing $ 6,361,675.00 in HSGP project requests.

On June 16, 2016, the Finance Committee reviewed seven FFY 2014 HSGP projects requesting

deobligated funding totaling $266,713.00. With an available balance of $103,970.53 in deobligated

funding to work with, the Finance Committee reviewed and approved a funding recommendation to the

Commission for three HSGP projects which included projects NCHS-123 through 125. Additionally,

the Finance Committee put forth a recommendation to the Commission to consider supporting HSGP

Projects NCHS-126 through NCHS-129 for future deobligations from the FFY 2014 HSGP funding

stream should it become available in addition to allowing DEM the flexibility to apply funding to these

projects given the tight timeframe required.

On December 5, 2016, the Finance Committee reviewed and approved a funding recommendation to the

Commission for four FFY 2015 HSGP project change requests totaling $457,586.07. Project change

requests included NCHS-131 through NCHS-134. Additionally, and pursuant to NRS 239C.170[1], the

Finance Committee voted to approve Stacey Giomi, Director of Facilities and Emergency Preparedness,

Nevada Health Centers, as Chair, and Sheriff Joseph Lombardo, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police

Department, as Vice Chair.

Membership remained constant with no changes during 2016.

Over the course of the year, the Finance Committee was responsible for reviewing and making

recommendations to the Commission on ten Project Change Requests (PCR), and seven De-Obligation

Requests for a total of $962,810.61. The Committee also reviewed and made recommendations to the

Commission on the 2016 HSGP Investment Application. The following table summarizes the 2016

NEVADA HOMELAND SECURITY WORKING GROUP (HSWG)

The Nevada Homeland Security Working Group (HSWG) was created by Executive Order (EO) on

March 3, 2008 and amended by Executive Order 2011-31 on December 15, 2011. Executive Order

2011-31 expired on June 30, 2015, and the HSWG was re-established under Executive Order 2015-32.

The HSWG met twice during 2016. The meetings were held on March 2, 2016, and March 29, 2016.

Both meetings were video conferenced between Las Vegas and Carson City.

The HSWG membership comprises not more than 35 voting members as stipulated in Executive Order

2015-32. In 2015, 31 voting members were appointed to the HSWG, along with the Chief of the

Division of Emergency Management (State Administrative Agent) and the Urban Area Administrator

(UAA) as non-voting members and co-chairs of the HSWG.

The role of the HSWG is to bring together subject matter experts from state agencies, law enforcement,

tribal representatives, first responder organizations, and local government to participate in an open and

collaborative vetting process to select projects eligible for receiving State Homeland Security Program

(SHSP) funding for the current FFY. The HSWG makes project-funding recommendations to the

Finance Committee of the Nevada Commission on Homeland Security. The Finance Committee

reviews the project recommendations and after consideration passes the final project recommendations

to the Commission for final consideration and approval. The Commission met on April 15, 2016, and

approved the 2016 HSWG recommendations with the concurrent recommendation of the Finance

Committee. The HSWG successfully carried out its duties for 2016.

The HSWG met on March 2, 2016, after the release of the FFY 2016 HSGP guidance and federally-

established grant allocation for Nevada. Nevada was allocated $3,734,500.00 in the State Homeland

Security Program (SHSP), with an additional $2,962,000 awarded to the Urban Area Security Initiative

(UASI) (Note: the HSWG reviews, rank-prioritizes, and recommends only those SHSP or SHSP/UASI

combined projects with statewide impact.. The UASI utilizes the Urban Area Working Group (UAWG)

to review and prioritize UASI-only or UASI/SHSP combined projects). At the first meeting, 46 projects

totaling $13,052,245.00 in SHSP and UASI funding were requested by project managers representing

several state, local government, and tribal entities. At the end of the meeting, the project presenters

were asked to make voluntary cuts or to withdraw projects that did not need FFY 2016 funding.

The following are the items discussed at the March 2, 2016, HSWG meeting:

Review and discussion of the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) guidance, award status,

and federal application timelines and deadlines.

Overview of the HSWG process including project proposals, requirements for line item detailed

budgets and investment justifications, and the Nevada Commission on Homeland Security

(NCHS) priorities.

NEVADA PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE (NPSCC)

Upon Executive Order 2014-01 on January 8, 2014, Governor Sandoval established the creation of the

Nevada Public Safety Communications Committee (NPSCC) with the purpose of serving as advisory to

the Nevada Commission on Homeland Security, the SAA, and the Statewide 911 Coordinator regarding

public safety communication and interoperability. The NPSCC serves as the governance board for the

State and Local Implementation Grant Program (SLIGP).

The NPSCC membership consists of a total of 15 voting members and three non-voting members as

stipulated in Executive Order 2014-1. Nonvoting members consist of the Chief of Emergency

Management (State Administrative Agent, SAA), the Statewide Interoperability Coordinator (SWIC), as

well as a representative from the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management

Agency, or First Responder Network Authority. The NPSCC met three times in 2016.4

On January 13, 2016, the NPSCC was briefed on the upcoming FFY 2016 HSGP cycle including the

role of the NPSCC in vetting submitted communications projects and in establishing priorities that will

be used to rank-prioritize reviewed projects. Recommendations for vetting communications projects

were as follows:

Alignment with the Statewide Communications Interoperability Plan (SCIP);

Regional and/or statewide impact;

100% completion within the performance period of the grant;

Long-term sustainability;

Adherence to the Commission’s established priorities and direction; and

Compliance with federal and state grant guidance.

Additionally, the NPSCC was briefed on the current status of the Project 25 Phase 1 Radio System, an

update on the NPSCC Statewide 9-1-1 Coordinator Subcommittee efforts, and an overview of the

federal definition of interoperability requesting a review of radio communication systems in the state

with respect to the federal standard and the subsequent creation of a communications database to

compare systems statewide. Lastly, the NPSCC received an update on the Nevada Dispatch

Interconnect Project (NDIP), Nevada Core System (NCORE), and Crossband repeaters.

On March 14, 2016, the NPSCC reviewed the rankings of submitted communications projects for FFY

2016 HSGP provided by the NPSCC Grants Subcommittee. Three SHSP projects in addition to five

UASI projects were approved as presented for consideration by the HSWG on March 29, 2016.

On June 6, 2016, the NPSCC was updated on the current status of the NPSCC Statewide 911

Coordinator Subcommittee (NPSCC 911 Subcommittee) efforts including the levels of 911 capabilities

throughout the state and subsequent discussion on Next Generation 911 capability. Of specific emphasis

was the provision of a side-by-side comparison of current 911 systems noting the loss in revenue

sustained by Nevada as being only one of two states without having a single point of contact (i.e.) a

Statewide 911 Coordinator. A series of recommendations was put forth by the Subcommittee to include

the creation of the statewide 911 Coordinator position within the Department of Public Safety, changes

in statutory language to create permanent funding for the position, duties of the Coordinator, and fee

structure to support 911 efforts. Additionally, the NPSCC was presented with an overview of the First

Responders Network (FirstNet) and current status of the Request for Proposal (RFP) to develop a LTE

network as a public and private partnership to enhance public safety interoperability. The RFP was

released on January 13, 2016, with subsequent questions due by March 31, 2016, proposals due by May

31, 2016, and an expected award of contract by the end of 2016. During the time leading up to award,

FirstNet will be meeting with governance groups, providing executive consultations, and providing a

state plan to be delivered to the Governor. This plan will be considered for either an opt-in designation

by the state, or an opt-out designation resulting in the state providing its own plan to address this issue.

Lastly, the NPSCC was briefed on the statewide radio system.

During 2016, the NPSCC membership changed with the appointment of two new members including

Captain Dane Mattoon, Henderson Police Department, and Director Vincent Puglia, Las Vegas

Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD). Additionally, several members resigned from the

committee including Lou Amell, Las Vegas Fire and Rescue, Director Michael Barnbeck, LVMPD,

Chief Michael Brown, North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District, David Hunkup, Inter-Tribal

Emergency Response Commission, Colonel Mitchell Sperling, Nevada National Guard, and Jim Tilford,

Inter-Tribal Council of Nevada.

NPSCC GRANTS SUBCOMMITTEE

The NPSCC Grants Subcommittee is tasked with the review and ranking of HSGP projects containing

communication components. The recommendations of the NPSCC Grants Subcommittee are reviewed,

amended, or approved by the NPSCC, and then submitted to the Nevada Homeland Security Working

Group for consideration of final HSGP rankings. The NPSCC Grants Subcommittee met one time in

2016.5

On March 4, 2016 the NPSCC Grants Subcommittee met to review FFY 2016 HSGP communications

projects. Three SHSP projects in addition to five UASI projects were rank-prioritized and approved as

recommendations to be moved forward to the NPSCC for final review on March 14, 2016.

During 2016, the NPSCC Grants Subcommittee saw membership changes with the resignations of Chief

Michael Brown, North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District, and Colonel Mitchell Sperling, Nevada

National Guard.

NPSCC STATEWIDE 911 COORDINATOR SUBCOMMITTEE

The NPSCC Statewide 911 Coordinator Subcommittee (NPSCC 911 Subcommittee) is tasked with the

5 NPSCC Grants Subcommittee met on March 4, 2016.

15

development of the position-specific job functions, statewide requirements for such a position, support

staff required, and identifying funding sources to create and maintain the position. The NPSCC 911

Subcommittee will advise the NPSCC on its recommendation for the position, and if approved, the

position recommendation will move to the Commission for final consideration. The NPSCC 911

Subcommittee met four times in 2016.6

During the first three meetings on February 11, March 3, and April 13, 2016, the NPSCC 911

Subcommittee met to discuss membership assignments pertaining to reviews of the current status of 911

capabilities within the state, the future of Next-Generation 911, and implications specific to Nevada.

Emphasis was placed on the reasoning as to why Nevada should have a Statewide 911 Coordinator as a

grant requirement to obtain much needed funding, the roles and responsibilities of such a coordinator,

funding strategies, and legislative issues affecting the creation of such a position. These meetings were

conducted to provide a final advisory report to the NPSCC. On May 16, 2016, the NPSCC 911

Subcommittee presented its final draft report for consideration by the NPSCC.

During 2016, the NPSCC 911 Subcommittee saw membership changes with the appointment of Captain

Matthew McCarthy, LVMPD, and the resignations of Denise Kee, Dispatch Supervisor, LVMPD, and

Lou Amell, Las Vegas Fire and Rescue.

NEVADA STATE CITIZEN CORPS COUNCIL

The Nevada State Citizen Corps Council (the State Council) was created by Executive Order (EO) on

February 25, 2009, and amended by EO 2011-26 on November 28, 2011. EO 2011-26 expired on June

30, 2015. The State Council was reestablished on February 24, 2016, by EO 2016-05 that will expire on

December 31, 2018.

The State Council unifies all the local Citizen Corps Councils into a coordinated statewide organization

with a common goal to sustain and improve volunteer activities in the State of Nevada and to provide

new and innovative ways to deliver important training to citizen volunteers. The Division of Emergency

Management (DEM) provides administrative support to the State Council along with the Chief of DEM

serving as the Council Chair.

Following the tragic events that occurred on September 11, 2001, state and local government officials

have increased opportunities for citizens to become an integral part of protecting the homeland and

supporting the local first responders. A key component to ensuring a more secure and safer homeland

consists of preparedness, training, and citizen involvement in supporting first responders. In January

2002, the President of the United States launched Citizen Corps, to capture the spirit of service that

emerged throughout our communities following the terrorist attacks. The mission of Citizen Corps is to

harness the power of every individual through education, training, and volunteer service to make

communities safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to the threats of terrorism, crime, public

health issues, and disasters of all kinds.

6 NPSCC Statewide 911 Coordinator Subcommittee met on February 11, March 3, April 13, and May 16, 2016.

16

Although the Citizen Corps Program (CCP) is no longer a separate grant program (the line item funding

was discontinued in FFY 2012), it is supportable through the Homeland Security Grant Program

(HSGP).

Under the direction of the Governor’s Executive Order, the State Council’s role is to “identify

opportunities for local, state, and federal organizations to collaborate to accomplish the primary

objectives of Citizen Corps.” Additionally, the Council shall “engage in ongoing discussions to

develop and support local Citizen Corps Councils and advance the national mission of Citizen Corps

across the State.” The State Council has divided Nevada into four geographic regions for the purpose of

establishing a statewide Citizen Corps Program. The geographic regions are:

Northern Region: Counties of Carson City, Churchill, Douglas, Lyon, Mineral, Pershing,

Storey, and Washoe;

North East Region: Counties of Elko, Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, and White Pine;

Southern Region: Counties of Clark, Esmeralda, Lincoln, and Nye; and

Tribal Lands.

Within these regions are federally recognized Citizen Corps Councils:

State of Nevada’s Citizen Corps Council;

The Nevada Statewide Tribal Council;

The Washoe County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) and Citizen Corps Council;

and

The Las Vegas Urban Area Citizen Corps Council.

Nevada also has federally-recognized Citizen Emergency Response Teams (CERT) in the following

cities, counties, and tribal lands:

Carson City, Douglas County, Duck Valley Tribe, Duckwater Tribe, Mesquite, Mineral County, Moapa

Band of Paiutes, North Lyon County Fire, Northeast Nevada, Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, Southern

Nevada, Storey County, Washoe Regional and Washoe Tribe.

Primary Goals of the State Citizen Corps Council

An active State Citizen Corps Council chaired by NDEM supporting regional Councils and

multiple Citizen Emergency Response Teams registered with the Department of Homeland

Security.

The 2016 Citizen Corps projects reflect a “Whole Community” approach with a focus on Public

awareness and Youth Preparedness.

Additional Goals of the Nevada Citizen Corps program include:

Continued public awareness and response training (preparedness) through training and exercises

for citizens and volunteers which include prevention techniques and protocols;

Procuring the necessary equipment and training materials required by FEMA to meet the

standards for public awareness and prevention for all hazards;

17

Create team leaders in each county/community to expand and enhance the education in the target

capabilities for prepared awareness, education and prevention;

Outreach to schools, businesses and local communities through prepared awareness, training and

prevention which will assist them in recognizing, preparing for and responding to emergency

incidents in their communities and to be deployed throughout the state upon request; and

Continue organizing CERT train-the-trainer/program manager courses for Citizen Corps

Leaders.
