Disaster Recovery Project Area Fact Sheet

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate's (S&T) Community and Infrastructure Resilience Program initiated the Disaster Recovery Project to develop new processes, products, and standards that will improve operations and outcomes for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and its state, local, tribal, and territorial partners.  These new processes, products, and standards will promote national preparedness objectives and protective measures, help communities prepare for catastrophic disasters, and reduce the complexity of FEMA's grant programs.
