FEMA’s 2014-2018 Strategic Plan development effort will be built around five strategic priorities and two strategic imperatives, as described in the 2015-2019 Administrator’s Intent.

Through this strategic priority, FEMA seeks to field a motivated, quality workforce supported by robust and agile business functions that are capable in the face of our greatest challenges. FEMA will build a human capital system that can recruit, hire, train, and retain a quality workforce; leverage technology to drive the Agency forward in its capabilities; and employ information technology systems that support a mobile workforce, enabling critical analysis, electronic record-keeping, and information sharing. Through work place transformation FEMA will enhance the ability of employees to move seamlessly beyond a traditional office environment and into a range of mobile work settings for additional flexibility. The Agency also will continue to exercise enhanced, effective fiscal management and oversight.

FEMA is conducting stakeholder engagement as part of the Strategic Plan Priority 5 development process. We welcome your thoughts, ideas or suggestions on how FEMA will be recognized throughout DHS as an organization prepared to respond successfully to any crisis as a result of:

  • Its commitment to organizational excellence by a team of motivated and engaged employees;
  • A foundation of predictable, repeatable, and transparent business practices that are completely integrated across the enterprise;
  • Well understood decision models for resource allocation and program decisions;
  • Creating customer centric business practices to drive desired outcomes.
