The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)’s mission is to help people before, during and after disasters. FEMA helps partners understand and reduce their disaster risk, leads the coordination of federal response efforts to stabilize communities after a disaster, and provides support for individuals and communities to build back better and become more resilient than before. FEMA is supporting community climate action and resiliency through information, preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery, grants, and field operations.

FEMA programs will help communities understand the climate-related risks they face, assess their greatest vulnerabilities, and plan for critical preparedness and climate adaptation measures. The agency’s programs provide guidance, support, technical assistance, and funding based on emergency management best practices for risk and capability assessment, planning, training, and exercises.
