The FEMA Think Tank is a forum to engage the whole community, connect resources and share best practices, and develop solutions to the challenges we face in emergency management.  Featured topics have included new technologies in emergency management; disability integration; public-private partnerships and engagement; the importance of integrating healthcare, public health and emergency management; and our most recent call held at the White House which highlighted innovative efforts during Hurricane Sandy response and recovery.

 

The May 28 Think Tank engagement will provide the opportunity to draw on the experiences and lessons learned from disaster survivors and emergency personnel as we continue to identify innovative, disaster survivor-centric approaches to emergency management at every level to strengthen preparedness, response, and recovery efforts.  

 

Before this call, we encourage you to visit the online forum at www.fema.gov/thinktank to share your own disaster survivor story or to submit ideas and comment on the stories and topics of others. 

 

 

FEMA’s mission is to support our citizens and first responders 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.
