Emergency Management: FEMA Collaborates Effectively with Logistics Partners but Could Strengthen Implementation of its Capabilities Assessment Tool

Abstract

FEMA is responsible for integrating federal disaster logistics efforts - that is, the ability to deliver goods to disaster survivors. The NRF guide show the nation is to respond to all types of disasters, and its ESF 7 Annex describes the actions that FEMA is to take in collaborating with federal partners and state and local stakeholders to deliver disaster logistics support and assess state and local logistics capabilities. GAO recommends that FEMA identify the LMD and regional resources needed to implement the LCAT, and establish and use goals, milestones and performance measures to report on the LCAT program implementation.
