FEMA发布全国应急管理研究:调查逾1700名官员 地方机构普遍人手与经费不足

华盛顿——联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA)10月16日与合作伙伴发布《应急管理组织结构、人员与能力研究》,这是该领域首份同类全国性研究。研究汇总了1,689个地方辖区、37个州、59个部落民族与4个领地的调查与访谈数据,受访应急管理官员超过1,700名,并同步上线全国应急管理数据浏览器(NEMDEX)供地方查询使用。
研究结论称,美国的应急管理体系在「地方主导、州级管理、联邦支持」时最为有效,地方与州级机构最了解本社区的需求;但研究同时发现,地方应急管理机构普遍人手不足、经费不足。研究报告由 Argonne 国家实验室联合大城市应急管理者协会、国际应急管理者协会与全国应急管理协会合作完成。
FEMA 署长 Cameron Hamilton 表示:「在特朗普总统与部长 Markwayne Mullin 的领导下,FEMA 专注于让州、地方、部落与领地政府在应急管理各阶段发挥主导作用。一刀切的联邦主导方式永远比不上社区主导的努力。」该研究与特朗普的「美国优先韧性战略」中要求州与地方建设自身应急能力的方向一致。

FEMA Study Finds Local Emergency Agencies Understaffed and Underfunded Across the Nation
WASHINGTON — The Federal Emergency Management Agency and its partners released the Emergency Management Organizational Structures, Staffing, and Capacity Study on October 16, a first-of-its-kind national study based on surveys and interviews covering 1,689 local jurisdictions, 37 states, 59 tribal nations and four territories, with responses from more than 1,700 emergency management officials. FEMA also launched the National Emergency Management Data Explorer (NEMDEX) so local leaders can explore the findings.
The study concludes that America's emergency management system is strongest when it is locally led, state managed and federally supported, and that local and state agencies are best positioned to understand their communities' needs. It also finds that local emergency management agencies are typically understaffed and underfunded. The study was produced with Argonne National Laboratory, in partnership with Big City Emergency Managers, the International Association of Emergency Managers and the National Emergency Management Association.
"Under the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Markwayne Mullin, FEMA is focused on empowering state, local, tribal and territorial governments to lead through all phases of emergency management," said FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton. "A one-size-fits-all, federally driven approach will never be as effective as community-led efforts." The findings align with the America First Resilience Strategy's call for state and local governments to build their own incident-management capacity.
