Minnesota Emergency Management and the Federal Executive Board of Minnesota

Synopsis:  The Mission of the Federal Executive Board is to function as a regional hub for all federal government activity.  Their work relates to five mission themes:

• Communicate - FEBs inform member agencies of each other's initiatives and successes, and inform the local community of national policies and priorities.

• Reduce Costs and Improve Efficiency - FEBs bring together agencies with common goals so that their efforts are complementary.

• Facilitate Service Delivery - FEBs draw together agencies with common clients so that government services are convenient for the customers.

• Partner with Community Groups - FEBs partner with community groups to solve problems.

• Coordinate Emergency Services - FEBs stand ready to marshal resources of the entire federal community, whether to aid a member agency in a crisis, or to assist the citizenry in a public emergency.

The focus of this presentation will be on the last item, the coordination of emergency services.
