Region 1

FEMA Region 1 oversees federal emergency management for Tribal Nations of New England and the following states:

• Connecticut
• Maine
• Massachusetts
• New Hampshire
• Rhode Island
• Vermont

Our main office is located in downtown Boston; we also have a Regional Response Coordination Center located twenty miles west of Boston in Maynard, Massachusetts.

Potential impacts to the environment and cultural resources must be considered when a community applies for FEMA funding through Public Assistance, Hazard Mitigation Assistance and Preparedness Grants.

• Find resources to help conduct an environmental and historic preservation review
• Get guidance for grant applications
• View listings of regional environmental assessments and notices

Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) is a national FEMA program that works with states, tribes, territories and local communities to evaluate and better understand their current flood risk, as well as the actions that can be taken to mitigate and become more resilient against future risk.

• Learn about the Risk MAP program
• Find location-specific project information using Risk MAP products, which provide user friendly analysis of flood risks

FEMA Region I’s Private Sector Liaison actively engages with and provides information to private sector companies, organizations and other whole community partners to help ensure business/employee preparedness and business response capabilities and resilience before, during and after disasters.

FEMA supports this outreach and “Whole Community” approach to emergency management with a wide variety of programs and free tools and resources available to all private sector entities.
