FEMA Releases the "Building Private-Public Partnerships" Guide  

---

FEMA released updates on the "Building Private-Public Partnerships" guide. The guide provides recommendations and best practices for jurisdictions to establish and maintain a private-public partnership to help coordinate mitigation, response and recovery planning and preparedness.

The "Building Private-Public Partnerships" guide is an effort to build on the recent National Response Framework update which focused on non-governmental capabilities to stabilize community lifelines and the continued need for aligning government efforts with the private sector. A variety of private-public structures exist to reflect the interconnected and complex environment that emergency managers operate within the context of more frequent and severe incidents – even before COVID-19.

FEMA worked on the guide with associations representing emergency management, government administration and the private sector. The guide provides recommendations and best practices for jurisdictions to establish and maintain a private-public partnership to help coordinate mitigation, response and recovery planning and preparedness. The guide will help both public and private sector emergency managers at all levels collaborate to increase community resilience. While the guide is written from a local perspective, any jurisdiction or private entity can use it.

To facilitate engagement process, FEMA will host a series of 60-minute engagement webinars to discuss the guide and answer stakeholders’ questions. The webinars will be open to the whole community and advance registration is required.
