Terrorism and Homeland Security

The Terrorism & Homeland Security Committee is composed of fire and emergency service leaders who provide guidance to the IAFC and policymakers about how to prepare for terrorist attacks and other homeland security threats. The committee:

  • Identifies terrorism and homeland security issues for IAFC advocacy.
  • It is a resource on homeland security issues.
  • Fosters and maintains crucial relationships with homeland security leaders.
  • Strengthens IAFC visibility as the fire service leader on terrorism and homeland security issues.
  • Equip current and future fire and emergency service leaders to meet evolving and emerging challenges and opportunities.

The committee creates and shares resources to improve the fire and emergency service's preparedness to respond to acts of terrorism and other homeland security threats. In addition, the committee provides valued input to American decision makers in the White House, federal agencies, and other elected officials about legislation and policies to protect the public.
