Educational Programs and Careers with Homeland Security Responsibilities in Washington State
The Department of Homeland Security has recognized ten key disciplines that have training, equipment, organization, and exercise requirements. Those disciplines include: public works, public health, public safety communications, health care, law enforcement, fire service, Hazarous Materials Personnel, emergency medical services, emergency management agencies, and government administrative. These are the individuals that would be most intimately involved in any preparation, response to or recovery from a major catastrophe. Though these jobs may not be devoted solely to homeland security full-time, they certainly have homeland security responsibilities.
In addition, those employed in private sector security, cyber security, transportation and agriculture also play a critical role in homeland security. Anyone seeking a career in any of these areas should be aware that homeland security responsibilities would be an essential part of the job.
