BISMARCK, N.D. - The North Dakota Department of Emergency Services (NDDES) has announced updates to two division names following the passage of House Bill 1079, signed into law in 2025 and effective August 1.

  • The Homeland Security Division is now the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management to better reflect its full scope of disaster planning, response, and recovery.
  • State Radio has been renamed the State Emergency Communications Center, clarifying its role in public safety dispatch and the full scope of technology used.

"These changes help align division names with the work our teams do every day to keep North Dakotans safe," said Homeland Security and Emergency Management Director Darin Hanson.
