At FEMA, we are a team of Federal leaders who support the people and communities of our Nation by providing experience, perspective, and resources in emergency management before, during, and after disasters. Disasters include all types of emergencies and hazards and can come in all forms and magnitudes to include both natural and man-made incidents.

Before Disasters, we help people understand risks to life and property and motivate them to take action – individually and collectively – to reduce these risks, build capabilities, and prepare for disasters.

During Disasters, we message, mobilize, and coordinate to support state, local, tribal, and territorial response efforts to stabilize communities.

After Disasters, we help individuals and communities recover after a disaster and build back stronger.  

We play a critical role in building a prepared and resilient Nation. Join our team and use your talent to support Americans in their times of greatest need.
