5: Performance Management
Evaluate and manage performance Other Information:
Evaluating and Managing Performance -- Federal Agencies in general and FEMA specifically, are under greater pressure to demonstrate
that they provide tangible results to the public within a constrained fiscal environment. We must improve our focus on producing
results that benefit the public, and also must give the public confidence that FEMA has produced those results. For the last
several years, FEMA has been working to strengthen its Budget to Performance Integration (BPI). The objective of BPI is to
enable leaders to look across the activities that FEMA performs and determine whether the organization's resources are being
optimally used to achieve our mission. Other public organizations, such as the New York City Police Department, the City of
Baltimore, and the Department of the Treasury have developed new performance frameworks that facilitate the conduct of systematic
discussions about the performance of their organizations. These data-driven management systems are designed to monitor and
improve performance in real time using data-tracking and management tools, many of which FEMA already uses (e.g. performance
tracking and geographic information systems mapping software).
