SB 385, signed into law earlier this week, combines the Alaska Division of Emergency Services with the Division of Homeland Security under the new name, the "Alaska Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management." The bill also modernizes Alaska's civil defense statutes.

"Senate Bill 385 is critical to our efforts, in a post-9/11 world, to ensure both the safety of our homeland and the responsiveness of our government in the event of a natural disaster," said Gov. Frank H. Murkowski. "We are streamlining and focusing our efforts in the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs to keep Alaska prepared and to ensure public safety."
