Federal Emergency Management Agency The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s mission is simple - to help people before, during and after disasters.  Floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and forest fires, whatever the disaster, FEMA leads the federal government’s response as part of a team of responders.
