Homeland Security and Emergency Management Coordination (HSEMC) Program

NNSA ensures that capabilities are in place to respond to any NNSA and Department of Energy facility emergency. It is also the nation's premier responder to any nuclear or radiological incident within the United States or abroad and provides operational planning and training to counter both domestic and international nuclear terrorism.

The Office of Emergency Management assists the NNSA and Department of Energy sites in integrating Department of Homeland Security initiatives into the NNSA Emergency Management System (EMS).  This program provides NNSA headquarters coverage for emerging presidential directives and assistance with resolving related emergency management issues and concerns that may not be available locally.  This program disseminates lessons learned and best EMS management practices.
