"The central focus of these hearings will be the awarding of a contract to the Bradford Communications Corp. for the purpose of providing FEMA with training materials specifying how emergency response should deal with radiological emergencies. To begin with, we will be addressing the integrity of FEMA contracting procedures. We will seek answers to the question of whether competition for the contract award was unfairly minimized and then eliminated, and whether there was justification for FEMA's awarding this contract sole-source. We will be also looking at the training course itself which, according to our investigation, was deemed to be dangerous by such agencies as the Health and Human Services and the Department of Transportation. We will want to determine whether FEMA had this information before the contract was signed; whether FEMA personnel deliberately deceived other Federal agencies regarding the contract award; whether, in fact, FEMA took steps to prevent criticism by these other Federal agencies; and whether such steps were taken under the heavy hammer of political pressure"--Pages 1/2.

FEMA is responsible for coordinating government-wide efforts in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from natural or man-made disasters, including acts of terror. The agency relies on permanent and disaster-related temporary employees and has a total workforce of over 22,000. Employee misconduct incidents can detract from FEMA's mission, damage the agency's reputation, and hamper its ability to respond to disasters and maintain public trust. GAO was asked to review employee misconduct at FEMA. This report examines: (1) the extent to which FEMA developed policies and procedures for addressing misconduct; (2) available data on FEMA misconduct cases and the extent to which FEMA uses the data to identify and address trends; and (3) the extent that misconduct cases are shared within FEMA and with DHS OIG. GAO reviewed FEMA procedures, analyzed misconduct data, and interviewed officials from FEMA HQ and three regions (selected based on geographic dispersion and number of misconduct allegations). GAO also analyzed a random, non-generalizable sample of 20 complaints referred from DHS OIG to FEMA to determine whether they were addressed.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is responsible for coordinating the delivery of federal support to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments under Presidential emergency or major disaster declarations or to other federal agencies under the concept of federal-to-federal support. It is important to recognize that FEMA does not assume responsibility for local incident command activities but, instead, provides a structure for the command, control, and coordination of federal resources to states, local incident commands, and other end users. The FEMA Incident Management Handbook (IMH) is a tool to assist FEMA emergency management personnel in conducting their assigned missions in the field. The IMH provides information on FEMA's incident-level operating concepts, organizational structures, functions, position descriptions, and key assets and teams. The IMH is intended for use by FEMA personnel deployed at the incident level. However, the IMH also provides whole community stakeholders operating in a FEMA facility information about key incident-level FEMA functions. The concepts in the IMH are applicable to FEMA operations during Stafford Act-based Presidential declarations and non-Stafford Act incidents involving federal-to-federal support.
