INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
2015 – 2017 INTERIM STRATEGIC PLAN
A Message from the Executive Director
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) is the agency responsible for the
preservation of the lives and property of the people of the state with respect to emergency
preparedness and planning and coordination of disaster response and recovery. Additionally, the
Executive Director of IDHS serves as the central coordinator for counterterrorism matters and
the point of contact for the United States Department of Homeland Security (US DHS) and the
Office of Preparedness under the United States Department of Justice (US DOJ) for the
Counterterrorism and Security Council (CTASC) established under Indiana Code 10-19-8.
Established in 2005 under Title 10, the agency has 240 employees and the statute provides for
four divisions: Preparedness and Training, Planning and Assessment, Response and Recovery
and Fire and Building Safety.
Threats and hazards to our State, either natural or man-made threats, are the factors that require
IDHS to establish and maintain strong partnerships for coordinated, multi-disciplined responses.
Increased economic, social and infrastructure interdependencies at the local, state and national
levels have highlighted the need for a comprehensive homeland security and emergency
management system that focuses on the root of all of these hazards facing the State’s economic
security and ultimate capacity to be resilient. That system begins with IDHS.
IDHS is charged with ensuring Indiana is adequately prepared to deal with emergency situations
and disasters. IDHS continues its efforts to improve its decision-making with a focus on process
improvements and capabilities-building to include informed stakeholders in assessing, planning,
implementing, evaluating, and refining our approach to public safety. Because IDHS’
constituents include greater than 6 million Hoosiers, it is imperative to enhance citizen
participation and create opportunities to inform the public, ideas and concerns, and respond with
informed policy initiatives.
The public safety community is dynamic and continues to undergo transformation through
process efficiencies and the evolution of technology. That requires an open dialogue and
relationship building in order to get to long-term, viable solutions. As such, IDHS is committed
to providing our constituents and stakeholders with a true understanding of our role in terms of
who we are and what we do. This strategic plan provides the direction for the agency and is a
reflection of our core mission and values. While the threat of emergencies and disasters can
never be completely eliminated, IDHS will continually adapt to the dynamic environment to
effectively and efficiently protect the lives and property of all Hoosiers.

SUMMARY OF PLAN ELEMENTS
OVERVIEW
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) is one agency among several public
safety entities that is responsible for the protection and support of fellow state agencies and local
jurisdictions. The concept of homeland security requires a broad and sophisticated system
involving partnerships at all levels of government, the private sector, volunteer organizations and
individual citizens. As an agency, IDHS is charged with supporting these entities in their
individual missions in addition to the greater public safety system across the state in an effort to
achieve a higher level and culture of preparedness.
IDHS VISION
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security will provide leadership for a safe and secure
Indiana through integrity, collaboration and stewardship.
IDHS MISSION
The Indiana Department of Homeland Security will provide statewide leadership, exemplary
customer service, and subject matter expertise for the enhancement of public and private
partnerships and the assurance of local, state and federal collaboration to continually develop
Indiana’s public safety capabilities for the well being and protection of our citizens, property and
economy.

INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
2015 – 2017 INTERIM STRATEGIC PLAN
INTRODUCTION
The general public looks to the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) to
consistently prepare for, protect from, respond to and recover from disasters and emergency
incidents. In order to be successful, IDHS must clearly understand costs and benefits, what
drives us as an agency, and what we can accomplish to meet public expectation. IDHS
acknowledges that one of the most important results is for our constituents and stakeholders to be
confident in our capacity to deliver support and services. As such, IDHS will move forward with
a singular focus: exceed public and stakeholder expectations. IDHS shall align its internal
resources to address several key building blocks of public safety:





Support local jurisdictions in every aspect of emergency management on a day-to-day
basis as well as during disasters.
Leverage resources to efficiently and effectively prepare for, mitigate against, respond to
and recover from disasters.
Provide training, continuing education, and exercises for Indiana’s first responder
community, which includes nearly 21,900 firefighters, more than 17,000 law enforcement
officers, 24,000 certified emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, 115 EMS
training institutions, 92 county emergency management/homeland security directors,
14,000 military personnel, and approximately 266,000 licensed healthcare professionals.
Promote fire safety awareness and education programs, exceptional training options,
enforce fire and building safety codes in all public buildings, and oversee and conduct
inspections of child care facilities, boilers and pressure vessels, elevators and
amusements.
Search diligently for sustainable funding opportunities and administer grant funding with
simplified processes to prevent fraud, waste and abuse, while serving the people of
Indiana and effectively addressing their needs.
IDHS is a support agency and as such, will maintain programs and initiatives that foster a servant
leader culture with our partners. Similar to the clock-building principle outlined in Jim Collins’
Good to Great and the Social Sectors, IDHS is now shaping a strong, self-sustaining
organization which will prosper beyond any one single program or initiative. IDHS’ future shall
be marked by consistency- consistent commitment, core values and operating practices. FEMA
Administrator W. Craig Fugate highlights this point and remarked:
“We need to move away from the mindset that Federal and State
governments are always in the lead, and build upon the strengths of
our local communities, and more importantly, our citizens. We
must treat individuals and communities as key assets, rather than
liabilities.” FEMA Strategic Plan FY 2011-2014, rel. February 2011.

2015 – 2017 INTERIM STRATEGIC PLAN
IDHS STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS
IDHS began its strategic plan development with a thorough review of Governor Pence’s Road
Map for Indiana, in concert with the State of Indiana Executive Orders 13-01 through 13-15,
multiple planning meetings with the agency’s key leadership, a review of Jim Collins’ Good to
Great and an assessment of the agency’s statutory responsibilities. During the review, IDHS
found that the strategic goals and objectives identified reflect the direction of the agency in
supporting the state’s homeland security and emergency management communities while
continuing to speak to the future of public safety in Indiana.
The objectives contained in this plan capture our priorities and methods for attaining success.
IDHS will continue to rely on its statutory authority, exceptional relationships, and shared
resources with the private sector, citizens, federal, state, local and volunteer agencies and
enabling legislation to meet the pressing public safety needs of Indiana. IDHS will continue to
support and balance the needs and priorities of affected jurisdictions and stakeholders, while
fulfilling its role as the state emergency management agency. In developing the goals and
strategies, several consistent themes emerged. IDHS believes these themes are based on the
agency’s values which align with Governor Pence’s vision for Indiana and the goals outlined in
the Road Map for Indiana. These values are central to IDHS’ future accomplishments and will
help to define the organization’s core functions. Additionally, these values will drive how IDHS
employees manage their relationships internally and externally with partners and constituents.
Integrity
Commitment
Stewardship and Accountability
Collaboration and Teamwork
Servant Leadership
The strategic goals outlined herein are designed to support the mission, but are also aligned with
Governor Pence’s key priorities of economic development, public safety, information sharing
and partnerships. These overarching goals capture the agency’s critical functions and fulfill the
FEMA’s guidance for national preparedness described in Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD8).
The following strategic goals and objectives will enable IDHS to focus on key, measurable
activities which are in alignment with the Governor’s Road Map for Indiana and the Indiana
Strategy for Homeland Security.

IDHS will improve the services it delivers and outcomes it achieves by enhancing the agency’s
ability to learn and innovate. These initiatives are tied to the overarching concepts of integrity,
stewardship, commitment, servant leadership and teamwork. They are inextricably linked to one
another and are the foundation from which new initiatives can be built. Success is dependent on
the full engagement and support of partners, the public and stakeholders. This Plan is deliberate
and bold. As such, we are committed to continuing to evaluate and reshape our practices to
ensure the security and resilience of Indiana.
