Last month, FEMA announced that it is seeking feedback (particularly real-world case studies) on the draft of a document that provides an executive-level introduction to emergency management concepts and principles for local senior officials. The document, entitled “Local Elected and Appointed Officials Guide: Roles and Resources in Emergency Management,” makes it easier for senior officials to understand, prepare for, and execute their leadership responsibilities to help:
- Mitigate community risks.
- Save lives.
- Protect property.
- Recover from disasters.
Three webinars, which included facilitated discussions with stakeholders to help improve the existing draft, were held in March. Two additional document-related webinars are scheduled for April. The dates are as follows:
- Webinar 4: 4 p.m. ET on Monday, April 11 Register at: https://fema.connectsolutions.com/eog_e4/event/registration.html
