This strategic plan was developed with an understanding of contemporary practices, lessons from past experience, and an appreciation
for what the future may bring.
The FEMA 2011 - 2014 initiatives will make FEMA a more flexible and adaptive organization capable of responding to new situations,
capitalizing on opportunities, and quickly adjusting to changing environments.
The initiatives will foster greater community engagement, and unity of effort and purpose among all members of the emergency
management team, with the goal of achieving more effective emergency management outcomes for the Nation.
