Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment for the Integrated Public Alert and Warning Program's Construction Projects

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has prepared a draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment (PEA) to address the potential impacts to the human environment resulting from construction- related actions taken under the Integrated Public Alert and Warning Program (IPAWS). The construction actions will be taken to ensure that FEMA meets its responsibilities under Executive Order 13407, Public Alert and Warning System, by providing robust and survivable power generation, fuel storage, and other measures to ensure an effective, reliable, integrated, flexible, and comprehensive system to alert and warn the American people in situations of war, terrorist attack, natural disaster, or other hazards to public safety and well being. The purpose of the PEA is to evaluate these actions and facilitate FEMA's compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) by providing a framework to address the potential environmental impacts of these projects.
