February Business & Industry Call
Date: February 25, 2025
Time: 3:00 p.m. EST
Location: FEMA Zoom Webinar
This meeting is held to update National Business Emergency Operations Center (NBEOC) members, business and industry organizations, and FEMA partners on the initiatives and tools available during all stages of the disaster lifecycle. Each month features different topics presented by experts from FEMA, other interagency partners, and business and industry organizations.
Governments cannot meet the needs of disaster survivors alone; business and industry partners are key in providing resources and support to communities through procurement opportunities. This month, we will focus on emergency procurement and contracting, federally and locally, in advance and in response to disasters. Join our expert speakers as they provide overviews of procurement and contracting resources and share insights on navigating opportunities with federal and local contract vehicles.
