FEMA will host virtual tribal consultations with Tribal Nations to discuss the update of the National Disaster Recovery Framework (2016), which explains how the federal government supports disaster impacted Tribal Nations as they recover from disasters and provides a framework to support Tribal Nations planning for and leading their own recovery operations. FEMA’s Interagency Coordination Division (ICD) originally began the NDRF version 3 update in 2021 before strategically pausing at the end of 2022 to align with other ongoing recovery priorities. In February 2024, the effort began again, specifically focused on improving the following five issue areas that partners have identified as important areas for updating – recovery scope, roles and responsibilities, capacity and resources, planning, and data metrics.

Tribal Nations can submit their comments and any questions via email with the subject line “NDRF – Written Comments” to fema-tribal@fema.dhs.gov. Feedback and comments are due by August 9, 2024.
