FEMA Acronyms /Abbreviations and Terms

The FAAT List is a handy reference for the myriad of acronyms and abbreviations used within the federal government, emergency management and the first response community. This year's new edition, which further reflects the establishment of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, contains nearly 600 new entries and other add-ons bringing the total to over 4,200 acronyms and abbreviations. Some organizations and terms listed are obsolete, but they are included because they may still appear in publications and correspondence.
