Emergency Operations

Emergency Operations helps coordinate responses to all-hazard critical events such as tornados, flooding, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE). Unit members are responsible for planning, policy, training, and exercises for critical incidents involving the Kansas Highway Patrol.

KHP personnel are assigned to the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) to help monitor and support during emergency situations.

Homeland Security

The Kansas Highway Patrol has served as the Governor-appointed State Administrative Agency (SAA) for the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) since 2001. Funds from the grant program are used by State and local jurisdictions to prevent, respond to, and recover from acts of terrorism by enhancing and sustaining capabilities.

Homeland Security is also the SAA for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP), which began in 1219. This grant program provides funding to support target hardening and other security enhancements for nonprofit organizations that are at-risk of becoming a terrorism target.

Kansas Intelligence Fusion Center
