Federal Emergency Management Agency: FEMA Overview & Emergency Preparedness Reference

By Ronald K. Eubanks

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is an agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security, initially created by Presidential Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1978 and implemented by two Executive Orders on April 1, 1979. The agency's primary purpose is to coordinate the response to a disaster that has occurred in the United States and that overwhelms the resources of local and state authorities. The governor of the state in which the disaster occurs must declare a state of emergency and formally request from the president that FEMA and the federal government respond to the disaster. Federal Emergency Management Agency: FEMA Overview & Emergency Preparedness Reference, compiled by Ronald K. Eubanks is your reference source for this Federal Agency and for emergency preparedness on a national level.
