Enhancing Hawai‘i’s preparedness & resilience, in order to prevent & respond to threats to Hawai‘i’s safety and security
About us
The Office of Homeland Security’s (OHS) primary responsibility is to enhance Hawaii’s security preparedness and resilience in an integrated, synergistic, relevant, proactive, flexible, cost effective, full-spectrum effort across all domains in order to prevent, protect, mitigate, respond to and recover from attacks, natural disasters and emerging threats. Under the Office of Homeland Security, the Hawai‘i State Fusion Center (HSFC) is a Hawai‘i State government program that facilitates intelligence sharing between local, state, and federal agencies, and the public and private sectors. As the nation’s 77th Fusion Center, it is uniquely structured to empower front-line law enforcement, public safety, fire service, emergency response, public health, critical infrastructure partners, and private sector security personnel to understand local implications of national intelligence, thus enabling local officials to better protect their communities. The HSFC collects tips, leads, and other threat information through suspicious activity reporting (SAR). It conducts analysis, disseminates intelligence, and provides training and technology resources. The top priorities are counter terrorism and cyber security.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has released its Anonymous Threat Response Guidance and Toolkit for K-12 #Schools. It is a "new resource to help kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) schools and their law enforcement and community partners create tailored approaches to addressing anonymous threats of violence, including those received on social media." We think this is a valuable tool for #educators and anyone else working with K-12 students who find themselves navigating learning environments in the age of social media. You can grab the guide here: https://lnkd.in/esmBA69U #socialmedia #k12 #education

Let's talk free(ish) money on this #FinanceFriday! (This is not an MLM pitch, promise!) Governing recently published a great article, written by Thomas Roach (mayor of City of White Plains, New York) about the wealth of infrastructure grants and opportunities that exist, following the passing of two acts designed to improve American life. Funding is best served at the local county level, though navigating federal funding opportunities can be more than challenging. There's now a hub you can use to help you take advantage of available funds, attend bootcamps to familiarize yourself with the processes and expectations, and more. You can find the hub here: https://lnkd.in/gdhGmHaM or read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gBMCFWZP Shout out to our Grants Manager, Glen, who handles this kind of work on the daily. #GlenAppreciationPost
