DHS/FEMA/PIA-017 Federal/Emergency Response Official (F/ERO) Repository

FEMA's Office of National Capital Region Coordination (NCRC) owns and operates the Federal Emergency Response Official (F/ERO) Repository. FEMA uses the F/ERO Repository as the authoritative data source to identify and verify federal employees/contractors, and participating non-federal employees/contractors likely to respond during times of response and recovery for natural disasters, terrorism, or other emergencies. The F/ERO Repository allows for immediate electronic verification of an employee/contractor’s personal identity and emergency management attribute at a given disaster zone. The purpose of this PIA is to document how FEMA collects, uses, maintains, and disseminates PII.
