FEMA Releases Emergency Management Guide for Local Elected and Appointed Officials
FEMA is releasing the “Local Elected and Appointed Officials Guide: Roles and Resources in Emergency Management.” This guide makes it easier for senior officials to understand, prepare for and execute their leadership responsibilities to help:
* Mitigate community risks;
* Save lives;
* Protect property; and
* Recover from disasters.
The document provides an executive-level introduction to emergency management concepts and principles for local senior officials, and identifies local senior officials’ roles and responsibilities for incident emergency management before, during and after disasters. The guide also explains how to access additional resources.
FEMA will host a series of 60-minute webinars to provide an overview of the guide, quick reference guide and checklists. The sessions will include facilitated discussions with stakeholders and provide updates since the National Engagement Period. Advance registration is required and on a first-come, first-served basis.
To download the document, quick reference guide, checklists or learn more about the webinar sessions please visit the FEMA website at https://www.fema.gov/emergency-managers/national-preparedness/plan.
