FEMA Mission/Mandate (2007, November)
FEMA Mission/Mandate (2007, November) : "The Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act, passed by Congress and signed by the President in October 2006, sets forth a new expanded mission for FEMA. Our mandate is to reduce the loss of life and property and protect the Nation from all hazards, including natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other man-made disasters, by leading and supporting the Nation in a risk-based, comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation. Our challenge -- and commitment -- is to achieve our vision and fully execute this mission to create a safer and more secure America". (FEMA, Strategic Plan, November 2007, p. 5)
