United States Department of Homeland Security


 

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is a Cabinet department of the federal government of the United States that is concerned with protecting America's people from harm and its property from damage. This department was created primarily from a conglomeration of existing federal agencies in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Although controversial, the reforms instituted by the Department have been instrumental in uncovering several domestic terror plots. The agency has been tested again during Hurricane Katrina.
