Wyoming state initiatives are required under the federal Homeland Security funding to focus efforts on how to build and sustain programs and capabilities within and across state boundaries, while aligning with the Goal and National Priorities. Capabilities should be strategically located to maximize the return on preparedness investments, and all available funding sources (federal, state, local, and private) should contribute to building and sustaining these capabilities. Wyoming state initiatives for FY 2007 funding are listed below as addressed by U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
