Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Secretary of Homeland Security is the federal official responsible for incident management through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This includes coordinating and supporting federal, state, local and tribal efforts in responding to incidents and emergencies. The Secretary of Defense is responsible for military operations and the Attorney General is responsible for law enforcement, but neither has the same responsibilities for incident management as the Secretary of Homeland Security. The President also has a role in incident management, but does not personally manage incidents on a day-to-day basis.
