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

EXECUTIVE ORDER ADVISORY COMMITTEES
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

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.
