Mission Statement:
The IAEM-USA Federal Facilities Caucus is comprised of individuals who are responsible for emergency management operations to include planning, training, and operations on or within federal facilities. This would include federal and non-federal employees who are responsible for mandatory Occupant Emergency Programs and/or Continuity of Operations Programs for Federal agencies. Although similar, the role of emergency managers responsible for departments and agencies housed in federal facilities differs from those of more commonly known emergency management occupations in state and local governments. Emergency program managers within the federal government are guided by GSA Occupant Emergency Program Guidelines and Federal Continuity Directives, as opposed to the NFPA 1600 and the National Response Framework. At this time, there is no central database of emergency managers of Federal agencies or even a consistent job series/title or description. The goal of the Federal Facilities Caucus is to bring emergency managers of Federal facilities from around the country together in an effort to collaborate and share common ideas, concerns, and lessons learned; and, to increase our presence within IAEM and network with our federal, state and local emergency management partners.
