Strategic Plans
- Homeland Security Strategic Plan - FY 2014-2018
The 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review describes the challenges
and opportunities of this new era and how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and our homeland security partners must strategically posture ourselves to address those challenges. The 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review also takes an important foundational step toward a Secretary-level priority: strengthening Departmental “Unity of Effort.” The DHS Unity of Effort Initiative builds important linkages between the Department’s planning, programming, budgeting, and execution processes, ensuring that the Department invests and operates in a cohesive, unified fashion, and makes decisions that are transparent and collaborative to drive the Secretary’s strategic guidance to results. - TEXAS HOMELAND SECURITY STRATEGIC PLAN 2015-2020
The Texas Homeland Security Strategic Plan 2015-2020 is the state’s framework for
establishing homeland security priorities and organizing its many homeland security
capability development and employment activities. Securing Texas requires a coordinated effort among all agencies, jurisdictions, and the private sector. Essential to success is effective risk management, including risk identification and assessment, implementation of actions to reduce risk in the most cost-effective way possible, and continuous evaluation and adjustment as some risks are mitigated and others emerge and grow. The state encourages the voluntary cooperation of the private sector in advancing this plan.
