FEMA Web Site Redesigned

www.FEMA.gov serves as a portal to emergency information both during and in preparation for disasters. In the month that followed Hurricane Katrina’s landfall along the Gulf Coast in August 2005, more than 14 million visits and 400 million hits were logged on the Web site. For five straight weeks, more than 500,000 individuals per week applied for assistance or checked the status of their application using the online registration system.

The new www.FEMA.gov was launched on April 6, 2006, with a completely restructured, customer-driven, and easy-to-use navigation system that makes it easier for citizens, emergency personnel, businesses, and Federal, state, and local government agencies to quickly get to the information they need on the agency’s disaster training, preparation, mitigation, response, and recovery efforts and services.

If you previously bookmarked or linked to any of FEMA’s web pages, you should review them and determine whether the information has moved to a new page. Suggestions related to hazard mitigation content can be sent by e-mail to Eugene.Luke@dhs.gov. Comments, concerns or suggestions related to all other FEMA.gov content can be sent by e-mail to Sarah.Hyder@dhs.gov.
