Welcome to the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security
 The Kentucky Office of Homeland Security (KOHS) was created within the Office of the Governor to coordinate efforts with public and private partners on issues affecting Homeland Security. KOHS focuses on preparing Kentucky for manmade or natural disasters. Although its primary role is to serve as the state’s administrative liaison with the U. S. Department of Homeland Security, KOHS has initiated a comprehensive prevention-focused homeland security strategy to ensure Kentucky’s communities, first responders and families have the resources and information necessary to be prepared for disaster or attack.
The Commercial Mobile Radio Service Emergency Telecommunications Board (CMRS) is administratively attached to the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security. The CMRS Board collects user fees monthly from subscribers of the approximately 35 wireless carriers providing wireless telephone service in Kentucky. These fees are used to fund technology upgrades at Kentucky’s enhanced 911 centers and to enhance the networks operated by the carriers.
"Lead the Commonwealth's coordination and collaboration efforts with public and private preparedness partners to ensure a Ready and Prepared Kentucky."
