Background

About Sarah Egan

As a Mass Care / Emergency Assistance Team Lead for FEMA, I am responsible for managing the development of exercises and planning tools that will enhance the agency’s Mass Care support capabilities. I serve as a subject matter expert in federal support for feeding operations, multi-agency shelter transitions, evacuee care, and for survivors with household pets, service and assistance animals. I also serve as a Mass Care liaison to FEMA's Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Support Branch. I joined FEMA in 2017 after 10 years as a Disaster Program Manager with the American Red Cross. As a DPM, I managed the implementation of disaster preparedness, response and recovery programs and worked closely with government and NGO partners to build community resilience. I have supported several disaster operations, deploying to the field, the National Response Coordination Center, and to other federal agencies in both incident management and incident support roles. I graduated with a BA in History and Middle East Studies from Fordham University, and an MA in Political Science/International Affairs from George Mason University.
