The Nome jurisdiction has recently participated in the State Homeland Security Assessment and Strategy program. This program assesses all Alaska jurisdictions’ vulnerability to natural or man-made disasters (specifically Weapons of mass destruction and terrorism). The program also assessed all jurisdictions’ emergency equipment needs. As part of the jurisdiction of Nome's participation in this strategy, we have become eligible for different types of Homeland security grants and funds through the State of Alaska.
