Our Internet Presence
We utilize numerous digital communication channels and tools as part of our mission to provide information to the public before, during, and after a disaster. This page outlines all of our official communication channels and resources and why we use them.
The mobile website allows the public to easily access preparedness and disaster-related information directly on their smartphone. The site also includes a registration form that the public can fill out to apply for disaster assistance after a Presidential declaration.
