Interagency consultation for Endangered
species (E791)
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)
requires all Federal agencies to prevent or modify
any project authorized, funded, or carried out by
the Agency that is likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of any endangered species or threatened
species or their habitats. In order to determine if
a proposed activity will jeopardize endangered or
threatened species, FEMA must consult with either the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) or the National
Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). Compliance with
ESA is a requirement for all FEMA-funded programs
and activities. This course provides training on the
implementation of ESA Section 7 within the context
of FEMA’s programs and trains EHP staff on proper
consultation procedures and strategies for streamlining
compliance with ESA.
