Welcome to FEMA's Tribal Affairs Hub

Tribal governments and their members are an essential part of our nation’s emergency management team. Effective relationships with Tribal Nations are necessary to fulfill FEMA’s mission of working together to improve our nation’s disaster preparedness and response.
