Joint Field Office (JFO)

A Joint Field Office (JFO) is a centralized location where multiple emergency response agencies, such as FEMA, law enforcement, fire services, and local government, coordinate their efforts during large-scale disasters or emergencies. It serves as a hub for planning, information sharing, resource allocation, and decision-making to ensure a unified and efficient response. The JFO helps streamline communications and operations among different organizations, enabling them to work together effectively to address the situation and support affected communities.
