Whether it’s before, during or after a disaster, businesses can reach out to FEMA’s Office of Business, Industry and Infrastructure Integration’s National Business Emergency Operations Center, (NBEOC).

What We Do

  • Engage critical business, industry, and infrastructure organizations to support disaster response and recovery operations.
  • Support state, local, tribal, and territorial governments throughout the disaster lifecycle by connecting them to their FEMA regional office and the NBEOC’s national network of business and industry organizations.
  • Understand business and industry operating status throughout the disaster lifecycle and support economic and supply chain resilience.
  • Operationalize business and industry organizations to support community lifeline stabilization and supply chain resilience, in partnership with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) when Emergency Support Function (ESF) #14 (Cross-Sector Business and Infrastructure) is activated.
