a) The Department of Homeland Security provides services such as:

Border and transportation security;Emergency preparedness and response;Countermeasures for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear attacks;Clearinghouse for law enforcement intelligence.

b) The work of the Department of Homeland Security is complex because it involves numerous different agencies and is aimed at protecting against a wide variety of threats to the American homeland.

Context/details:

The Homeland Security Act, which created the Department of Homeland Security, was passed in 2002, following the September 11, 2001 attacks by terrorists against the United States, which involved hijacking planes and flying them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The Department of Homeland Security describes its mission as ensuring "a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards."

The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Title I, Section 101), listed the top three priorities of the Department of Homeland Security as:

(A) prevent terrorist attacks within the United States; (B) reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism; (C) minimize the damage, and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks that do occur within the United States;

Also listed as part of Homeland Security's mission is that it will "monitor connections between illegal drug trafficking and terrorism, coordinate efforts to sever such connections, and otherwise contribute to efforts to interdict illegal drug trafficking."

The Department of Homeland Security also acts "as a focal point regarding natural and manmade crises and emergency planning," and works to coordinate efforts between various agencies and law enforcement agencies in order to achieve its security goals. According to the Department of Homeland Security's own website, the Department of Homeland Security combines "22 different federal departments and agencies into a unified, integrated Cabinet agency."
