Governor Sam Brownback signed Executive Order 11-05 appointing the Kansas Adjutant General as the Kansas Homeland Security Advisor and as the Director of the Kansas Office of Homeland Security.
The executive order also appoints the Kansas Office of Homeland Security as the State Administrative Agency for the administration of homeland security grants and funds.
“Putting management of our homeland security grants and funds under the Kansas Office of Homeland Security will ensure the most efficient and cost effective use of all public and private resources in the execution of these duties,” Gov. Brownback said.
In addition to advising the Governor on homeland security issues, the Homeland Security Advisor is responsible for all homeland security matters within the state and serves as the Governor’s personal representative, agent, and liaison to the United States Department of Homeland Security and all other governmental and private entities in Kansas involved in homeland security issues.
