FEMA Federal Emergency Management Agency NOAA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NWS NOAA’s National Weather Service U.S. United States of America Section 2 - Award Justification:
Department of Commerce Goal #3: Observe, protect, and manage the Earth’s resources to promote environmental stewardship.
During 2005, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma, among others, struck the U.S. Gulf Coast, causing widespread catastrophic damage on an unseen level. Heeding the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) call for volunteers to help with massive post-storm disaster relief and recovery efforts, the nominees and their duty offices made significant sacrifices to be deployed on a few days notice for a minimum 30-day (and often times longer) deployment to FEMA.
Nominees received two days of pre-deployment training from FEMA before receiving their field assignments. Then, along with volunteers from other federal agencies, they fanned out across the southeastern U.S. to set up Disaster Recovery Centers, working directly with people impacted to register them with FEMA to receive assistance. Other tasks included distributing bottled water, non-perishable food, and bags of ice; surveying damaged communities with emergency managers; coordinating delivery of travel trailers to evacuees as temporary housing in or near their home communities, distributing questionnaires and doing data entry in a FEMA project designed to identify the needs of people living in hotels and shelters months after the storms. Volunteers worked with part-time FEMA hires (Disaster Assistance Employees); volunteer firefighters; and local emergency management staff or volunteers, with little to no on-site support from permanent full-time FEMA employees. In these situations, volunteers stepped up as the de facto leader(s) of their teams in the field. The contributions made by volunteers far exceeded FEMA’s expectations.
Actions by these volunteers were directly responsible for assisting the millions of people across the Gulf Coast affected by these storms in finding necessary government resources to begin the long and arduous task of rebuilding their lives and communities. Section 3 - Additional Information:
FEMA distributed a call for federal volunteers in early September 2005. Deployments ended in December 2005.
and/or Department=s mission? The volunteers’ service helped people and communities impacted by these storms to begin the long process of rebuilding. Their service also helped to ease tensions by some of the people impacted of a perceived slow government response to the disaster.
The valuable work performed during this effort will result in increased credibility and trust in Commerce and the Federal Government through their hard work and extreme dedication to the residents and communities impacted.
The volunteers worked together with volunteers from across the Federal government during this effort, assisting the coordinated federal response to these disasters.
During the FEMA deployment, volunteers participated in pilot projects designed to identify and track the needs of people impacted by the storm, including arranging alternative housing and helping to satisfy personal and family needs. These projects will likely be used in future post-storm disaster recovery efforts.
The service-above-self efforts of the nominees and their duty offices demonstrated the highest level of customer service and support possible within the Federal government. It reaffirmed the commitment NOAA has to faithfully serving the American public.
