Action Plan
As part of our commitment to revitalize the U.S. Fire Administration, a group of six fire service professionals met to assist the acting Chief Operating Officer (COO) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) staff in drafting an action plan for the USFA during the week of July 11-16, 1999. The Action Plan Working Group reconvened on October 21-22, 1999, to review the numerous comments submitted in response to the Draft Action Plan. The result of these efforts is this document. This plan is a major milestone in setting the direction of the Federal fire programs into the next century.
The Action Plan Working Group brought vast experience and expansive knowledge about the fire service to writing this plan. COO Ken Burris will use this document as a guide in working with the staff to implement actions and programs. The Action Plan is dynamic in nature, and addresses numerous complex issues affected by Agency policies and budgetary constraints.
This plan demonstrates FEMA's commitment to improve services and support to the Nation's fire services. We have made significant progress in the past year. We look forward to the continued support and partnership with the fire services and broader emergency management community this Plan is designed to serve.
