Federal agencies may use the FEMA list of hotels and motels that meet minimum fire-safety requirements when arranging lodging for Federal employees on government travel and for Federal agency conferences.
Public can find fire‑safe lodging
Members of the public can use FEMA’s publicly available list to identify hotels, motels, and similar lodging that meet minimum life-safety criteria from fire. The list is open to non-government travelers as well as Federal employees.
