Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past three decades have presented the emergency management community with significant challenges and conditions that have necessitated reevaluation of strategic and operational approaches to delivering emergency management services. To address those challenges, FEMA recognizes that the emergency management community must operate as a team, which underscores the Agency's mission: to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a Nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. FEMA is only one member of the broad national emergency management team--one that includes Federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, private sector, nongovernmental organizations, faith-based and community-based organizations, and the American public. We know that the rapid pace of change in the world provides opportunities to strengthen emergency management, and that conditions will continuously evolve and affect every aspect of society. These factors mean FEMA must work with the public, our most important partner, as well as our traditional and many new partners, to innovate and test new ways to achieve critical outcomes. This strategic plan was developed with an understanding of contemporary practices, lessons from past experience, and an appreciation for what the future may bring. The FEMA 2011-2014 initiatives will make FEMA a more flexible and adaptive organization capable of responding to new situations, capitalizing on opportunities, and quickly adjusting to changing environments. The initiatives will foster greater community engagement, and unity of effort and purpose among all members of the emergency management team, with the goal of achieving more effective emergency management outcomes for the Nation.

This book was released on 2013-02-06 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the Federal agency responsible for supporting our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. Environmental stewardship and historic preservation support emergency management goals and aid to prevent or minimize the impacts of these emergency situations/events. Protection and stewardship of the Nation's natural resources, landscapes, and cultural sites provides increased protection from disasters to communities throughout the country. The Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) Strategic Plan 2009-2013 is the result of an extensive planning process led by the Office of Environmental Planning & Historic Preservation (OEHP). This process included several rounds of vetting and writing in order to ensure maximum stakeholder input and buy-in. The direction and impetus for the plan began at the Regional Environmental Officers (REO) meeting in November 2007. In April 2008, a Steering Committee helped identify five-year goals and objectives. In June 2008, a large number of internal Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) stakeholders came together to validate the draft goals and objectives, develop supporting strategies, and sketch the plan's framework. The Steering Committee then edited this draft, and developed implementation plans to support the objectives and priority strategies. The plan has been vetted by FEMA program offices and the EHP Advisory Committee (EHPAC). The EHP Strategic Plan was approved on June 3, 2010. The major themes that have significantly shaped FEMA's EHP Strategic Plan for 2009-2013 include: increased EHP capabilities both internal and external to FEMA; efficiencies gained through cross-program integration of EHP functions, technology, and processes; and increased EHP awareness that leads to better partnerships and action. The following goals and objectives represent the culmination of this work: Goal 1: Build Sustainable Capabilities OBJECTIVE 1.1: Strengthen EHP Human Capital. OBJECTIVE 1.2: Develop an investment and funding support strategy to meet FEMA's EHP compliance goals and program metrics. Goal 2: Strengthen Operational Effectiveness OBJECTIVE 2.1: Simplify, standardize and improve the EHP compliance process across all programs; OBJECTIVE 2.2: Integrate EHP requirements into program goals, development, implementation and performance; OBJECTIVE 2.3: Leverage technology in the EHP compliance process; OBJECTIVE 2.4: Evaluate the reliability, consistency, cost effectiveness, and timeliness of EHP's compliance process. Goal 3: Strengthen Partnerships OBJECTIVE 3.1: Increase awareness of the value of the EHP compliance process across FEMA programs and among stakeholders, in order to foster a sense of ownership of and responsibility for EHP compliance. OBJECTIVE 3.2: Improve coordination with Resource Agencies; OBJECTIVE 3.3: Develop and implement EHP partnering opportunities to advance the FEMA mission. The EHP Strategic Plan lays out a path for a robust EHP program that strengthens FEMA's programs and protects FEMA's investments.

Book excerpt: The FEMA Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2009-2013 reflects the Agency�s commitment to the strategic integration of EHP considerations into the implementation of its programs, policies and overall mission. The EHP Strategic Plan presents the goals, objectives and strategies that will guide and inform the evolution of FEMA�s EHP operations. This document is the culmination of an extensive planning effort led by FEMA�s Office of Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (OEHP) in collaboration with a Steering Committee composed of Headquarters and Regional program staff. Because OEHP assists all FEMA programs in ensuring compliance with federal EHP requirements, gaining program support for the Strategic Plan was a key priority in the development process. Although development of the Strategic Plan began in April 2008 with the intent of having it in place for FY 2009, several cycles of review...

Jenkins and published by DIANE Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. By preparing their families and property before an event, people can reduce a disaster's impact on them and their need for first responders, esp. in the first 72 hours following a disaster. FEMA developed a national preparedness system (NPS) and included community preparedness programs as part of the NPS. These programs include the Citizen Corps program and its partner programs, such as Fire Corps, and rely on volunteers to assist first responders in local communities. This testimony discusses: (1) challenges FEMA faces in measuring the performance of Citizen Corps and the Ready Campaign: and (2) actions FEMA has taken to develop a strategy to encompass how Citizen Corps and the Ready Campaign operate within the context of the NPS.

Book excerpt: The 2014-2018 FEMA Strategic Plan advances the Agency's mission to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. For 2014 to 2018, FEMA will focus on five strategic priorities, institutionalizing key improvements while building Agency capacity and strengthening national capabilities for disaster preparedness. The five priorities, along with their associated outcomes, will spur cross-Agency collaboration, guide allocation of resources, and inform how all FEMA employees approach their work. These efforts will further integrate two strategic imperatives into the Agency's programs and operations: a whole community approach to emergency management and a culture that fosters innovation and learning.

Download or read book Transforming Disaster Response written by William Lester and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-16 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the published work on disaster response has focused on specific disasters, highlighting what went wrong. Taking a new approach, this book explores ways in which transformational leadership principles may be applied to an organization’s disaster preparation and response, moving the organization away from a competitive or top-down approach and toward a more collaborative one. Rather than focus on centralizing responsibility, with commands emanating from the top, author William Lester offers readers a new paradigm, with step by step instructions on placing transformative and collaborative systems front and center, in order to develop a sustainable disaster response system – one that is not centered on a specific leader or time, but instead focuses on the changes needed to build a system that can outlive any one leader. Implementation plans to move from concept into workable, effective strategies that can be used immediately are included. Assuming no prior background in either organizational theory or disaster response systems, the book offers practical examples and hands-on explorations of the responses to Hurricanes Sandy, Harvey, Irma, and Maria, written by experts who know those disasters best – delivering important insight into what elements make the best disaster response system.
