The DisasterHelp.Gov website is intended to reach five overlapping audiences: (1) Local / State / Tribal Governments, (2) individual Citizens, (3) private sector businesses, (4) non-Government organizations, and (5) Federal agencies.  The intergovernmental audience is the primary focus at present, and that audience is seen as composed of: political and civil service leadership, emergency managers, homeland security advisors, and first responders (including fire and law enforcement, emergency medical services, etc.)

The Disaster Management e-Government Initiative is one of 24 initiatives established by the President’s Management Council.  The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is sponsoring this initiative.  An integrated team of partner agencies and organizations that perform Disaster Management activities will accomplish program delivery.  The Disaster Management e-Government Initiative initially will focus on providing information and services relating to the four pillars of all-hazards disaster management: preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation.  Later phases will incorporate delivery of integrated, cross-agency processes and services to citizens, governments, and NGOs with emphasis on First Responder needs.

The Disaster Management e-Government Initiative will support a multitude of Federal Agency missions including FEMA’s mission to reduce the loss of life and property and protect our institutions from all hazards.  The partnerships established will support the Federal mission to provide the Nation a comprehensive, risk-based emergency management program of mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.
