ANS: D
The mission of DHS is to: (1) lead the unified national effort to secure America, (2) prevent and deter terrorist attacks, and (3) protect against and respond to threats and hazards to the nation. This agency was created to realign the existing agencies, groups, and organizations into a single department, focusing on protecting the American people and their homeland, but this is not the mission of the agency. The Federal Emergency Management Agency distributes federal financial aid to disaster-stricken areas and is responsible to enable the appropriate response to assist a state having a disaster.
