The Served Community
FEMA’s Whole Community Approach“This larger collective emergency management team includes, not
only FEMA and its partners at the federal level, but also local, tribal, state and territorial partners; non-governmental
organizations like faith-based and non-profit groups and private sector industry; to individuals, families and
communities, who continue to be the nation’s most important assets as first responders during a disaster.”
