  • Preventing terrorist attacks in Arizona
  • Enhancing border security

  • Reducing Arizona's vulnerability to all critical hazards
  • Enhancing the capacity and expertise to plan for, mitigate, respond to and recover from all critical hazards that affect the safety, well-being and economic security of Arizona
