Since 1979, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been the Federal Government’s lead agency in responding to and recovering from many of the Nation’s greatest moments of crisis. Throughout its history, FEMA has built upon the more than 200 years of Federal involvement in disasters. By understanding this history, we are better able 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. We do what we do as part of a team. We rely on our Federal, State, Tribal, and local government partners; the private sector; nongovernmental entities like faith-based and volunteer groups; and the public to meet our mission.

If you have ever been interested in what steps your business needs to take to work with FEMA this event will provide that information.   We hope that you can join us.
