The efforts will entail planning and developing positive relationships that can improve effective preparation. The subsequent journal identifies key entities that will help the base improve its security posture. DHS The DHS is responsible for managing public security. With headquarters in Washington, the entity is seminal in providing guidance to national institutions.
