Background:
|
It is the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) policy to integrate environmental planning and historic preservation (EHP) considerations into its hazard mitigation, disaster response and recovery, and emergency preparedness activities.
FEMA, through its EHP Program, engages in a review process to ensure that FEMA-funded activities comply with various Federal EHP laws and Executive Orders (EOs).
The goal of these compliance requirements is to protect the nation’s water, air, coastal, wildlife, agricultural, historical and cultural resources, as well as to minimize potential adverse effects to children and to low-income and minority populations.
