4: Information Portal
Serve as the Nation’s portal for emergency management information and expertise Other Information:
As the Nation faces the risks associated with changing weather patterns, violent storms, sudden earthquakes, and the aftermath
of terrorist attacks, the demand for emergency management information is ever increasing. FEMA will serve as the Nation’s
portal for emergency management information before, during, and after disaster strikes. As a portal FEMA is not the originator
of all information, nor is it the only source of information. Rather, FEMA will provide a single entry point through which
users can access a broad spectrum of relevant emergency management information. This effort will take several forms and will
require that FEMA become a knowledge manager with responsibility for coordinating and integrating the broad spectrum of emergency
management information available to government and the public. As part of this new role, FEMA will ensure that the Federal
government speaks to the public with a single, coordinated voice in times of disaster and national emergency. Performance
Measure 4.1 By Fiscal Year 2008, 95% of those surveyed who accessed emergency management information through FEMA report that
they found the information to be useful. Performance Measure 4.2 By Fiscal Year 2008, a National network of warning systems
is established with sufficient redundancy for 100% reliability in providing timely and accurate dissemination of alerts and
crisis information to the general public throughout the Nation and to the emergency management community at all levels of
government.
