The New FEMA - Implications for State and Local Emergency Management April 11, 2007 As of April 1, 2007, changes to FEMA and DHS' organizational structure, including the realignment of several functions into FEMA, became effective under the provisions of the Post-Katrina Emergency Reform Act of 2006. In order to present an overview of the FEMA realignment and its implications for state and local emergency management, the EIIP was pleased to host a 'live chat' presentation and interactive Q&A session on April 11, 2007. We were also pleased to welcome Mike Selves, President of the International Association of Emergency Managers (IAEM) who participated as co-sponsor of this special Virtual Forum.
