and up-to-date requirements that
effectively achieve FEMA’s mission in a
manner that furthers the goals of
advancing equity for all, including those
in underserved communities; bolstering
resilience from the impacts of climate
change, particularly for those
disproportionately impacted by climate
change; and environmental justice.
Specifically, FEMA seeks this input
pursuant to the processes required by
Executive Orders 13985, 13990, and
14008 that require agencies to assess
existing programs and policies to
determine if: (1) Agency programs and
policies perpetuate systemic barriers to
opportunities and benefits for people of
color and other underserved groups; (2)
additional agency actions are required
to bolster resilience to climate change;
and (3) agency programs, policies, and
activities address the disproportionately
high and adverse climate-related
impacts on disadvantaged communities.
Consistent with Executive Order 13563
and Executive Order 13707, FEMA
further seeks this input to ensure that it
is implementing its programs in a
manner that builds disaster readiness
and closes national capability gaps
through data-driven approaches and
risk-informed preparedness and
mitigation investments as well as in
delivering the Agency’s response and
recovery mission sets.
The purpose of the request for
information is to seek general feedback
on FEMA’s programs. Individuals
cannot apply for FEMA assistance by
submitting a comment in the Federal
Register. If you are an individual who
has been impacted by a disaster and you
are seeking assistance from FEMA,
