FEMA has released the Crisis Response and Disaster Resilience 2030 report , which includes insights on the future role of emergency and disaster management; strategic needs and gaps the community will have to address; and a look into the emergency management community of 2030. The strategic needs, highlighted in the report, in particular – focused around essential capabilities, innovative models and tools, and dynamic partnerships – are intended to be a catalyst for leadership throughout the emergency management community and to prepare us, and the Nation at large, for whatever challenges and opportunities the future holds.

The findings and insights presented in this report are the result of an extensive community-wide effort, including more than 800 professionals, members of the academic community, and interested public and private sector stakeholders who have contributed to the Strategic Foresight Initiative (SFI).

We invite you to join Dave Kaufman, Director of the Office of Policy and Program Analysis at FEMA for a webinar to explore the SFI findings presented in the Crisis Response and Disaster Resilience 2030 report and to engage in an open discussion.
