As of August 1, 2025, the North Dakota Department of Emergency Services (NDDES) has updated the names of two key divisions to better reflect their missions:
- Homeland Security is now Homeland Security and Emergency Management
- State Radio is now the State Emergency Communication Center
These changes align with the work already being done in each area and help clarify the roles these divisions play in supporting statewide preparedness, response, and coordination. Everything still falls under the NDDES umbrella—just with names that better fit the mission.
