Today, FEMA’s “Ready” campaign launched new public service advertisements (PSAs) with the Ad Council, encouraging Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities to prepare for future risks and disasters. Recognizing the unique barriers faced by AANHPI communities, the campaign urges everyone to start a conversation with their family and plan together for emergencies.

Today, FEMA is announcing the designation of 275 census tracts in territories and on Tribal Nation lands as Community Disaster Resilience Zones. These zones will be eligible for increased federal support to become more resilient to natural hazards and extreme weather. Congress directed FEMA to designate these zones in the Community Disaster Resilience Zones Act of 2022, a piece of bipartisan legislation to help build resilience to natural hazards in communities most at-risk due to climate change.
Press Release |
FEMA updated the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF) to enhance collaboration among disaster recovery managers and help them restore, redevelop and revitalize a variety of sectors that affect communities after disasters. The revised framework includes clear roles and responsibilities during declared disasters, ways to enhance collaboration across the whole community and practical resources to assist in recovery planning efforts.
