One Team, One Mission, Securing Our Homeland. This Department of Homeland Security's overriding and urgent
mission is to lead the unified national effort to secure the country and preserve our freedoms. While the
Department was created to secure our country against those who seek to disrupt the American way of life,
our charter also includes preparation for and response to all hazards and disasters. The citizens of the
United States must have the utmost confidence that the Department can execute both of these missions.
