FEMA strives to reduce the loss of life and property and protect the nation from a variety of hazards, including natural disasters and acts of terrorism.

  • FEMA Deployments (Key Homeland Security Metric)

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides support when the President of the United States declares an emergency or major disaster.

    This Key Homeland Security Metric (KHSM) counts the number of active deployments during a given month or year. A deployment occurs when an individual is assigned to an event for a defined period.
