Fiscal Agent—Homeland Security Program

Kansas has seven Regional Homeland Security Councils that all have a similar mission to support local, regional and state all-hazard preparedness while reducing vulnerabilities to both natural disasters and terrorist attacks by building local and regional response capabilities and encouraging citizen safety and preparedness. Each council receives grant funding to help carry out its mission. The NCRPC began working with the North Central and Northeast Regional Homeland Security Councils in 2006, acting as their fiscal agent. Since that time, the NCRPC has expanded that service to include the Northwest, Southwest, Southeast, & South Central Regional Homeland Security Councils.

A coverage map and additional information for each of these regional councils can also be found at the State of Kansas Web site at http://www.ksready.gov/.

John Cyr serves as the NCRPC Fiscal Agent contact for the Regional Homeland Security Councils. For more information, contact John by e-mailing jcyr@nckcn.com or by calling the NCRPC office at 785-738-2218.
