I’m stealing this entire post from Holden at First-Draft. Sorry about that.
This is part FEMA’s Mission Statement which you can read on a PDF provided by the agency:
MISSION
Since its founding in 1979, the mission of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been clear: to prepare for, mitigate against, respond to, and help individuals and communities recover from natural and man-made disasters.
And FEMA’s stated goals:
GOAL 1. Reduce loss of life and property. [Failed]
GOAL 2. Minimize suffering and disruption caused by disasters. [Failed]
GOAL 3. Prepare the Nation to address the consequences of terrorism. [Failed]
GOAL 4. Serve as the Nation’s portal for emergency management information and expertise. [Failed]
GOAL 5. Create a motivating and challenging work environment for employees. [N/A]
GOAL 6. Make FEMA a world-class enterprise. [Failed]
