Federal Emergency Management AgencySince September 2007, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been offering email updates to reach thousands of people when urgent situations arise. To reach citizens in a specific region or location, FEMA utilizes GovDelivery's filter or query feature, allowing the agency to collect not only a subscriber's email address but their zip code as well. With Hurricane Gustav set to make landfall in early September 2008, FEMA utilized its email subscription service to inform 10,000 subscribers in six Gulf Coast states of hurricane‐related updates. FEMA currently reaches nearly 850,000 citizens, offering updates across nearly 300 emergency-related topics.
