The FAAT List is a handy reference for the myriad of acronyms and abbreviations used within the federal government, emergency management and the first response community. This year's edition, which reflects changes associated with the establishment of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, contains more than 600 new entries and other add-ons bringing the total to over 3,700 acronyms and abbreviations.

Some organizations and terms listed are obsolete, but they are included because they may still appear in publications and correspondence.
