As a part of our strategic implementation plan, each objective is assigned a point of contact (POC) responsible for creating actions, initiatives and milestones to accomplish the objective. The POCs will record progress toward the accomplishment of each milestone. Meeting the established goals and objectives will provide a measure for the overall successful implementation of the strategic plan.

Actions beyond the strategic plan
The USFA is mission ready and involved in several significant programs and projects. These efforts include engagement both internally and externally, all to bolster the nation’s fire and EMS responders’ capacity, capability and overall operational performance as they respond to all hazards.
