Federal Emergency Management Agency

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), a U.S. government agency within the Department of Homeland Security, coordinates national preparedness, prevention, protection, response, and recovery efforts for disasters including natural events, terrorist attacks, and threats like weapons of mass destruction. As a key procurement entity, FEMA leverages federal budgets of $25-30 billion annually and private channels to acquire assets for emergency response and recovery, while collaborating with the Department of Defense for specialized support in homeland defense and first responder capabilities.
