WYDOT will have these new Search and Rescue license plates for sale in each county to help support the Search and Rescue mission, but some of the special numbers are now available to bid on!

Human trafficking often hides in plain sight. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to report it even if you aren’t certain. Trusting your instincts can help protect someone who may not be able to ask for help themselves.

We’re starting the year with a few lighthearted New Year’s resolutions, because it's okay for resolutions to be joyful.

We keep suggesting flashlights and batteries, but sometimes the light in the dark is you. Please make sure you’re reaching out to those around you; your good will might be the best gift they get.

The cutest visitor of the week award goes to K9 Blair, who stopped off to pick up her new helmet, hearing protection, and a pair of doggie goggles, all to keep her safe while she does her important job: explosives and firearms detection!

We're officially under an ugly sweater warning.

Happy #UglySweaterDay, everyone. 🧶🎄

[Wy Homeland Security @WyOHS]

Still can’t figure out what to give your loved ones? Forget expensive jewelry or new gadgets – the best way to say “I love you” is by saying “come home to me safe.”

Sometimes the most meaningful gifts are the ones already loved once. Gently loved toys, given early, can mean a great deal to a family working to make the season feel normal. Thank you for supporting your community when it matters most. #ReasonForTheSeason #Community

[Wy Homeland Security @WyOHS]

While most people are thinking about pie (including us), we’re also thinking about the people who keep Wyoming safe every day. We’re thankful for your dedication, teamwork, and steady hands when things get tough.

If your Thanksgiving turkey is still in the freezer, start thinking about moving it to the fridge! The rule of thumb is 24 hours of fridge time for every 4-5 pounds of turkey.

🚨 EXERCISE ALERT 🚨
We and partners will conduct a full-scale exercise Nov 17-20. THIS IS ONLY A DRILL. We're sharpening our readiness so our response is faster and stronger when it truly matters.

Wyoming is home to thousands of veterans, and many still serve today, keeping their communities safe in emergencies large and small. Thank you for your service, in every uniform.

Do you want a really good excuse to sit under your desk for a while? (For safety, of course.) Tell your boss/teacher about the Great #ShakeOut. On 10/16 at 10:16, join the biggest earthquake drill in the world! Bonus points if you register at https://t.co/RRbGGjuk2m.

Edna gets it: multi-factor authentication (MFA) combines something you KNOW (password) with something you HAVE (your phone, a code) or something you ARE (fingerprint, face ID). Even if someone steals your password, they still can't get past your next layer of defense.

[Wy Homeland Security @WyOHS]

Think having a unique password for every account is too much to remember? That's what a password manager does, so you can focus on important things... like remembering to buy Halloween candy.

Some days we share preparedness tips. Today we're just sharing a laugh. Happy October 3rd! #MeanGirlsDay #PreparednessIsSoFetch

[Wy Homeland Security @WyOHS]

You’ve made it through 30 days of challenges! Today isn’t about checking a box, it’s about pressing pause. Sit for a moment and think about what you’ve learned, what surprised you, and what still needs attention. Your preparedness contributes to the safety of our entire state.

“But I thought I already got the alerts…” Not all of them. The automatic ones only cover the life-threatening things. Today’s challenge is to go to your county emergency management pages for where you live, work, and play - and actually sign up!

Left: Drop, Cover, and Hold – textbook perfect.
Right: Stuck in the 1980’s doorway advice.
Today’s challenge: take 30 seconds to Google “why you shouldn’t stand in a doorway during an earthquake.” Spoiler: it’s not the safe spot anymore.
