FEMA launches a Revamped Spanish-language Website

An article in Federal News Week highlights the debut of FEMA's revamped Spanish-language website, which offers news about disasters, preparedness assistance, a family registry and a locator service in Spanish.

Craign Fugate, FEMA admistrator said “We are happy to announce this updated Web site, which will ensure that communities across the country continue to have the tools necessary to be prepared before an emergency or disaster strikes.”

FEMA follows the  U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services, which launched a Spanish-language site with interactive features in September.

The list of other federal agencies who offer Spanish-language sites includes GobiernoUSA.gov - a Web portal to multiple federal agencies, the Social Security Administration, and the Veterans Administration, which offers part of its information on benefits in Spanish.
