Enhancing Readiness and Resilience
Federal changes are reshaping emergency management, shifting new responsibilities to state and local governments. As these responsibilities evolve, states, localities, and agencies must prepare to assume greater ownership of disaster recovery and resilience.
Hagerty can partner with you to assess and strengthen response and recovery capabilities—establishing a baseline understanding of current capacity, identifying gaps, and developing an actionable roadmap to prepare for the future of emergency management.
Key Considerations
As federal roles shift, state and local governments face new challenges and opportunities. Now is the time to:
- Pinpoint where investment in new or enhanced capabilities is needed, particularly for functions that are shifting from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to the state.
- Leverage existing state capabilities for more effective response and recovery under evolving federal frameworks.
- Plan strategically for the future of emergency management.
Hagerty’s Approach: Strategic Capabilities Assessment
Our team partners with you to provide a comprehensive roadmap that positions you for the future of emergency management, including:
- Identifying FEMA and other federal functions likely to shift to your state.
- Evaluating your state emergency management authority’s governance, programs, and organizational capacity—highlighting areas where investment or enhancement is needed.
- Engaging other state agencies through stakeholder interviews to uncover capability gaps and opportunities.
- Benchmarking peer states’ response and recovery operations, programs, and financing models, with actionable adoption recommendations.
- Conducting executive-level scenario planning and exercises to test readiness under potential federal changes.
