NYS Div. of Homeland Security & Emergency Services

This #VeteransDay, we honor the brave who selflessly served.

Veterans make up over 10% of our team at DHSES, bringing the dedication, leadership & courage they showed in uniform to protecting New York State. Thank you for your service and continued commitment to our communities.

#TrainingTuesday: Last month, State Fire & the @nyspolice joined forces with the @ATFNewYork to host arson and explosive demonstrations for prosecutors.

These demonstrations better equip legal professionals to analyze evidence and present complex cases in court.

Will there or won't there be snow at the end of this week? Regardless, this winter, make sure you're prepared for the weather.

1️⃣ Before: Prep an emergency kit & replenish your fuel
2️⃣ During: Adjust your plans & keep warm indoors
3️⃣ After: Shovel safely & check on neighbors
