Disaster Reserve Workforce

The Reserve force is the largest component of FEMA’s Disaster Workforce. Reservists are personnel authorized by the Stafford Act (Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relieve and Emergency Assistance Act, PL 93-288).  Currently there are more than 8,000 Reservists geographically dispersed throughout the country.
