The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) mission is helping people before, during, and after disasters. FEMA’s goal is 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. Within FEMA, the Office of Response and Recovery (ORR) provides guidance, leadership, and oversight to build, sustain, and improve the coordination and delivery of support to citizens and State, local, Tribal and Territorial governments to save lives, reduce suffering, protect property, and recover from all hazards to include climate change. As part of ORR, the Recovery Directorate provides assistance to communities overwhelmed by acts of terrorism, natural disasters, or other emergencies. The Recovery Directorate’s Public Assistance (PA) Division has the specific mission of providing assistance to applicants (i.e., State, Tribal and local governments) and certain types of Private Nonprofit (PNP) organizations so that communities can quickly respond to and recover from major disasters or emergencies declared by the President. This also includes climate adaptation efforts that incorporate current and future risks which help reduce the effects of climate driven disasters on our nation’s communities.
