15: Disaster Response
Deliver unified disaster response and recovery solutions. Other Information:
GSA is integrating its logistics and acquisition planning efforts with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and
other agencies with emergency responsibilities. GSA is also maintaining emergency operations space to be used by those agencies
as needed. During times of disaster, the governmentwide web portal, USA.gov, ramps up to provide the most up-to-date disaster
information for citizens and links to other Federal agencies dealing with the crisis. State and local governments dealing
with an emergency are a new and growing market for GSA. State and local government customers certified by the Department of
Homeland Security as eligible for disaster recovery assistance are authorized to purchase products and services using all
of GSA’s Multiple Award Schedule contracts. Significant training on the proper use of Schedule contracts will be needed by
these new customers.
