division mission:
This year our annual report is focused around the accomplishments and achievements that support our six Strategic Goals: 1) Improve the State’s Resiliency; 2) Improve Operational Readiness; 3) Prevent Terrorism and Other Criminal Activities; 4) Maintain a Well Trained and Energetic Workforce; 5) Improve Customer Service and 6) Improve Operational Effectiveness and Efficiency. As you read this annual report you will see that each division office, team and unit supported these strategic goals and supported our mission. We focused on finding ways to use automation to create efficiencies for ourselves and our customers. We focused on developing staff, updating our protocols and processes and improving the way we delivered our programs. We focused on executing new initiatives and ways of doing business that made a difference in the way we interacted with each other and we focused on our customers, stakeholders and partners who depend on us before, during and after disasters. We continue to focus on supporting Colorado's communities to prevent, protect, mitigate, respond and recover from all-hazard events including acts of terrorism. Together we make a difference. Respectfully, Kevin R. Klein, Director Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management
Since 2012, the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management has grown exponentially. We have been tested with fires and floods of 2012, 2013 and 2015. We have been challenged with the merging of three different entities from different departments while responding and recovering from the worst disasters in Colorado's history. We have shown our resiliency by rising to the challenge and meeting our department vision of "creating safer and more resilient communities across Colorado." Today, the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management has three offices: The Office of Emergency Management, Colorado Information Analysis Center and the Office of Preparedness. The division follows the five mission areas of emergency management, which are prevention, protection, mitigation, response and recovery. The division leads the state's response to emergencies and disasters while providing for the safety and welfare of its citizens. We support Colorado communities through a comprehensive, consolidated and coordinated program of mitigating hazards, preparing for emergencies, preventing attacks, and responding and recovering from events that occur without regard to the cause. We unite Colorado's preparedness and response capabilities across multiple agencies and jurisdictions to ensure the safety and welfare of our residents. When necessary, the division serves as the conduit for assistance from the federal government. We also lead state agencies and coordinate with local agencies to ensure that resources are available to protect lives, property, and the environment from all hazards, including intentional and unintentional events. While our roles may differ, our goal is the same. Each office within the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management collectively and individually plays an integral role in supporting and keeping Colorado communities safe.

overview
dhsem
The Office of Emergency Management plans for and responds to all-hazards. These range from fires and floods to incidents involving hazardous materials or acts of terrorism. OEM houses the Operations, Field Services and Mitigation and Recovery sections. This is where coordination with local, state, tribal and federal agencies is done in order to effectively address all hazards impacting Colorado. They prepare and implement the Colorado Hazard and Incident Response and Recovery Plan (CHIRRP). The OEM also staffs and maintains the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC), which serves as the support and coordination center for supporting emergencies and coordinating state response activities.
leadership
The CIAC is separated into four business units: Counterterrorism/Strategic Intelligence, Investigative Analytical Support, Critical Infrastructure Protection and the Auto Theft Intelligence Coordination Center. The CIAC is the state's fusion center, which is a multi-discipline, multi-agency network of professionals who gather, analyze and share threat-related information with the private sector, local, state, tribal and federal partners. The work of the CIAC ultimately enhances prevention, preparedness and security efforts for Colorado.
Colorado information analysis center (ciac)
The Division Director's Office is responsible for the overall management of the division and consists of the Division Director, Chief of Staff, Strategic Communications, Policy Analyst and HR Liaison.
The Office of Preparedness consists of Grants and Contracts, Preparedness, Statewide Interoperable Communications, and Training and Exercise. OP provides a full range of services to enhance preparedness in the state. OP administers statewide all-hazards preparedness programs through its various sections and manages various federal preparedness grant programs. This is also where the state employee emergency alert system, SWIFT911, is administered to notify employees of an emergency.

The AuxComm unit was created by HB 16-1040 and became effective in August 2016. This DHSEM unit is made up of amateur radio operators who volunteer their services for incidents, planned events and exercises in order to provide alternate forms of communication when regular/traditional communication systems are unavailable. AuxComm members also provide training, technical guidance and other communications support services in the State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) and other locations.
Additional recovery training program implemented
MARS Supports landslide victims in Colorado springs
local hazard mitigation plans approved
DHSEM accelerated its disaster-emergency recovery training program by adding two new disaster recovery program classes. Disaster recovery training programs were delivered in three of the the all-hazard regions and the new disaster recovery planning program also coordinated debris management plan development and approval for five local governments.
Training coordinated for thousands
The "Are You Ready?" training was rolled out for sixth graders at the Good Shepherd Elementary School and teaches children disaster preparedness techniques. The program provides students information on how to develop preparedness plans for their families and an evacuation plan for the community.
The Colorado Information Analysis Center (CIAC) provided analytical support to private sector, local, state, tribal and federal partners on a daily basis. Their general intelligence documents and threat briefs support multiple disciplines throughout the state, covering a wide range of topics like human trafficking, pattern crimes, extremist activity, critical infrastructure protection and cyber-security threats.
The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) provided recovery plan assistance to six cities and counties and recovery exercises were added to the list of available training services. This is important because it lays the foundation for recovery in advance of a disaster, and helps speed services and funding to impacted families, communities and businesses.
ARe You ready? training rolled out
Analytical support provided
improve state resiliency
As a grantee for FEMA, $5,942,848 (*approximate value) in funds for homes damaged and destroyed by disaster, the MARS team coordinated closely with the City of Colorado Springs to make benefits available to Colorado families that have lost their homes in recent landslide disasters.
auxiliary emergency communications (auxcomm) unit established
During FY 2017, the State Emergency Operations Plan, also known as the Colorado Hazard and Incident Response and Recovery Plan (CHIRRP) was updated to reflect a unified continuum of response and recovery. This supported the division's effort to ensure a smooth and complete integration of recovery so that Colorado communities are able to move forward quickly in the aftermath of a disaster.
state emergency operations plan updated
On April 27, 2017, the State of Colorado, through the Office of Emergency Management (OEM), received EMAP re-accreditation. To achieve accreditation, applicants must demonstrate through self-assessment, documentation and peer assessment verification that its program meets the Emergency Management Standards. The program uses the accreditation to prove the capabilities of their disaster preparedness and response systems. Accreditation is valid for five years and the program must maintain compliance with the Emergency Management Standards and is reassessed to maintain accredited status.
emergency management accreditation program (EMAP)
disaster recovery plan assistance
Hazard mitigation plans were approved for nine Colorado local governments in FY17 and the Mitigation and Recovery Section (MARS) is currently working with 16 local governments toward FEMA approval of their mitigation plans. More than 70 percent of Colorado's counties currently have FEMA approved mitigation plans, making them eligible for several federal assistance programs.
The Office of Preparedness coordinated the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC) and Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium (RDPC) course for 1,123 students. The students all received their training at no charge to them or their jurisdictions. The NDPC and RDPC focus on trainings to address the counter-terrorism preparedness needs of the nation’s emergency first responders within the all-hazards context including chemical, biological, radiological, and explosive weapons of mass destruction (WMD) hazards.
Community development block grant (cdbg) funding awarded
An additional $10.6 million was awarded to local communities from the CDBG program. This grant supports recovery efforts in 19 Presidentially declared flood or fire-impacted counties. This programs focus on housing, public infrastructure, long-term planning and economic development and, as stipulated by the grant, 50 percent of the funds will be distributed to low- and moderate-income households. The CDBG funds reimburse local governments, communities, small business owners, farmers and homeowners for expenses associated with recovery projects and services and for costs incurred throughout the phases of ongoing, extensive reconstruction and rebuilding.
DHSEM Mitigation and Recovery Section (MARS) assumed responsibility for processing local partner requests for reimbursement and project closeouts on January 1, 2017. This work will help advance more than $425 million in federal, and state payments to communities affected by disasters in 2013 and 2015.
The CIAC supports the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force and Innocence Lost Task Force, the Metro Gang Task Force and the Colorado Metro Auto Theft Task Force.
Support of multi-agency task forces
Public Assistance for 2013 floods brought in house
Terrorism liaison officer program
analytical support
More than 30 Colorado communities received support from the DHSEM staff in the delivery of federal and state mitigation funding for projects that will help prevent future disasters.
Office staff coordinated 15 exercises during FY17, where they assisted on the planning team or served as controllers, evaluators and exercise personnel such as in the Simulation Cell. State and local stakeholder requests for exercise assistance has increased significantly as an important component of capacity building for Colorado communities at the local, county, regional and state level.
preventative radiological nuclear detection program (prnd) local support
The Colorado Information Analysis Center (CIAC) certified 143 new Terrorism Liaison Officers (TLOs) in FY17. Across the state the total number of active TLOs is now 812.
Supporting local capability
Colorado resource rate form Process updated
Regional Field Managers (RFM) worked in partnership with local jurisdictions to assist in the development of local resource mobilization and management plans. These plans ensure the proper and efficient use of local, state and private resources during a disaster. As part of this process, the RFMs worked with their jurisdictions to facilitate an understanding of the State Resource Mobilization Plan and how local plans and processes connect to the state plan.
Mitigation funding support
The Colorado Resource Rate Form process was updated as part of its three-year update cycle. Currently, there are approximately 16,750 resources in the state database covering a wide variety of hazards. The updated process has been streamlined to maximize efficiency of the data management for state and local stakeholder use.
Pilot Radiological Dispersal Device (RDD) Response Plan Workshops: In August and September of 2016, the City of Fort Collins hosted the Pilot RDD Response Plan Workshops, after coordination and planning through DHSEM. These workshops were designed to assist the city in developing a response plan for the first 100 minutes of a response. The pilot not only developed a local response plan, but also provided input for the planning template that will be shared with other jurisdictions interested in developing an RDD plan. Preventative Radiological Nuclear Detection Program (PRND) Operations: The Boulder Regional HAZMAT team requested support for PRND operations at the Boulder 10K race on May 28-29, 2017. This operation was a collaboration with several partners, including CU Boulder, Boulder Police and Fire, DHSEM and the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) and consisted of pre-event screening and tailgate training on May 28th, followed by event day operations focused primarily on Folsom Field. Local Radiological Dispersal Device Response Plan: DHSEM supported the development of a Radiological Dispersal Device Response Plan for the Fort Collins area and also supported operational activities during FY17. These activities were particularly focused on special events and the impact that terrorist activities and criminal activities involving radiological elements could play on surrounding populations. Quick Start Primary and Secondary Screener Train-the-Trainer Classes: January 11-13, 2017, the Preparedness Program hosted the Quick Start Primary and Secondary Screener Train-the-Trainer classes at the Boulder Regional Training Center. This class graduated 23 trainers who will work for the foundation of the Boulder PRND operations.
The CIAC provided on site analytical support and threat assessments/checks for large group gatherings like the 2017 Winter XGames in Aspen, the World Cup Finals, the Alpine World Ski Championships and the November 2016 Presidential elections.
Critical plans updated
training and exercise increases
The Incident Management Team (IMT) and Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) administrative plans were updated during FY17 to provide clear and consistent processes for deploying incident management teams as well as sending Colorado resources to other states.

The Colorado Information Analysis Center (CIAC) committed to expanding homeland security-related strategic intelligence providing important information that is actionable to both internal and external decision-makers throughout the state. In 2016, the CIAC effectively and efficiently integrated the development of strategic intelligence production into the current workload of analysts, resulting in the production of 12 strategic intelligence documents. The CIAC's intelligence documents not only support the center's stakeholders, but also enhance the intelligence picture for our partners at the national level and for fusion centers in neighboring states as well as across the country.
The Coloradans Available to Assist and Support Incidents Statewide Today (CO-ASSIST) system was launched on March 1, 2017. DHSEM and the Colorado Emergency Preparedness Partnership (CEPP) launched the new platform to manage and connect local communities with business-sector resources. CO-ASSIST is an online database for private businesses to register in advance of disasters to share what resources and services they offer along with their contact information, which allows for faster resource allocation to residents during a disaster.
An advisory committee was created in January 2017 to address training and exercise needs, goals and objectives across the state.
reduction in contract execution processing time
support of local jurisdiction exercises
Grants and Contracts reduced grant agreement execution processing time for subrecipients from 45 days down to 40 days, reduced amendment processing time from 30 days to 25 days, reduced request for reimbursement time from 30 days to 25 days and reduced the grant closeout processing time from 90 days down to 80 days. The benefit of the time reductions are fewer requests for extensions and compliance with FEMA deadlines by taking a proactive approach to improve internal processes.
The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) staff supported the North Central Regional Wildfire exercise as well as the I-25/Highway 50 Winter Storm Closure exercise in Arapahoe, Boulder, El Paso, Park and Summit counties.
All work units within DHSEM have improved their response time to stakeholders and now reply to all inquiries and requests within two business days. This fast turnaround time allows for more efficient facilitation of communication for needs and requests, which increases stakeholder confidence in the services DHSEM provides.
The SRM team completed all 40 on-site reviews for FY17. The team also completed the FY18 subrecipient risk analysis formula,that is a federally mandated requirement. The on-site reviews allow members of the SRM team to concentrate on subrecipients who may be higher risk and need additional guidance and support to ensure the federal government will not ask them to return grant funding.
co-assist system launched for private sector resources
The training and exercise program sent 34 IMT members to the 2017 sessions of the Colorado Wildland Fire Incident Management Academy and 316 students in Colorado to attend the FEMA Emergency Management Institute (EMI) in Emmitsburg, Maryland.
The SEOC focused on exercising in FY17 to ensure emergency services personnel are prepared for future disasters. These exercises included: 16 various exercises, including state quarterly exercises for a total of 482 participants. 5 SEOC exercises with 148 participants 1 full-scale exercise for the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP)
2016 EM Academy Graduates
commitment to actionable intelligence
DHSEM staff provided 22 days of training over a seven month period at the Colorado Emergency Management Academy for local emergency managers and stakeholders. DHSEM graduated 44 students in November 2016. Another academy class began in April 2017 with 37 students enrolled, representing a wide variety of stakeholders around the state.

The Preparedness Program had several exercises where the Preventative Radiological Nuclear Detection (PRND) operators were able to test their skills in simulated real-world scenarios. One of these exercises was April 30, 2017, at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Another exercise took place on June 29, 2017, in Eagle County. The exercises were collaborations between DHSEM, local first responders, the Department of Energy (DOE) and other stakeholders to help improve operational effectiveness.
Emergency Management Exercises and Events Supported
Colorado purchased the Swift911 emergency notification system in March 2016 to alert state employees of emergency or disaster situations. The implementation of this system across all executive branch agencies and judicial branch agencies required the development of a working group with representatives from all these agencies, who then spearheaded the administrative and operational functions of the alert system. DHSEM's Preparedness Program provided training and technical support to all these agencies. The goal for the project was to have 75 percent of the agencies fully implemented by June 30, 2017. This goal was surpassed and 94 percent implementation was reached by the June 30th date.
