| Publisher Description: 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. |
