united states secretary of homeland security
the george w. bush administration consolidated many of these activities under the united states department of homeland security (dhs), a new cabinet department established as a result of the homeland security act of 2002. however, much of the nation's homeland security activity remains outside of dhs; for example, the fbi and cia are not part of the department, and other executive departments such as the department of defense and united states department of health and human services and they play a significant role in certain aspects of homeland security. homeland security is coordinated at the white house by the adviser to the president for national security and the adviser to the president for terrorism and homeland security. the staff of the national security council manages policy integration of national security and homeland security. homeland security is officially defined by the national strategy for homeland security as "a concerted national effort to prevent terrorist attacks within the united states, reduce america's vulnerability to terrorism, and minimize the damage and recover from attacks that do occur". because the department of homeland security includes the federal emergency management agency, it also has responsibility for preparedness, response, and recovery to natural disasters.
