The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the Federal
agency responsible for supporting our citizens and first responders
to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and
improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to,
recover from, and mitigate all hazards. Environmental stewardship
and historic preservation support emergency management goals and
aid to prevent or minimize the impacts of these emergency
situations/events. Protection and stewardship of the Nation's
natural resources, landscapes, and cultural sites provides
increased protection from disasters to communities throughout the
country. The Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP)
Strategic Plan 2009-2013 is the result of an extensive planning
process led by the Office of Environmental Planning & Historic
Preservation (OEHP). This process included several rounds of
vetting and writing in order to ensure maximum stakeholder input
and buy-in. The direction and impetus for the plan began at the
Regional Environmental Officers (REO) meeting in November 2007. In
April 2008, a Steering Committee helped identify five-year goals
and objectives. In June 2008, a large number of internal Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) stakeholders came together to
validate the draft goals and objectives, develop supporting
strategies, and sketch the plan's framework. The Steering Committee
then edited this draft, and developed implementation plans to
support the objectives and priority strategies. The plan has been
vetted by FEMA program offices and the EHP Advisory Committee
(EHPAC). The EHP Strategic Plan was approved on June 3, 2010. The
major themes that have significantly shaped FEMA's EHP Strategic
Plan for 2009-2013 include: increased EHP capabilities both
internal and external to FEMA; efficiencies gained through
cross-program integration of EHP functions, technology, and
processes; and increased EHP awareness that leads to better
partnerships and action. The following goals and objectives
represent the culmination of this work: Goal 1: Build Sustainable
Capabilities OBJECTIVE 1.1: Strengthen EHP Human Capital. OBJECTIVE
1.2: Develop an investment and funding support strategy to meet
FEMA's EHP compliance goals and program metrics. Goal 2: Strengthen
Operational Effectiveness OBJECTIVE 2.1: Simplify, standardize and
improve the EHP compliance process across all programs; OBJECTIVE
2.2: Integrate EHP requirements into program goals, development,
implementation and performance; OBJECTIVE 2.3: Leverage technology
in the EHP compliance process; OBJECTIVE 2.4: Evaluate the
reliability, consistency, cost effectiveness, and timeliness of
EHP's compliance process. Goal 3: Strengthen Partnerships OBJECTIVE
3.1: Increase awareness of the value of the EHP compliance process
across FEMA programs and among stakeholders, in order to foster a
sense of ownership of and responsibility for EHP compliance.
OBJECTIVE 3.2: Improve coordination with Resource Agencies;
OBJECTIVE 3.3: Develop and implement EHP partnering opportunities
to advance the FEMA mission. The EHP Strategic Plan lays out a path
for a robust EHP program that strengthens FEMA's programs and
protects FEMA's investments.
