FEMA Legal Podcast Collection

The objective of FEMA Legal Podcast Collection is to enhance FEMA’s ability to learn and innovate as an organization through a better understanding of the legal authorities that support FEMA’s efforts to reduce loss of life and property and protect the nation from all hazards. Each podcast discusses a different legal topic that is relevant for members of the FEMA community. The podcasts are designed to be a fun and easy way to learn more about FEMA’s legal authorities as well as some of the issues that our attorneys work on every day.
