FEMA

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is the independent federal agency responsible for leading America's efforts to prepare for, prevent, respond to, and recover from disasters. FEMA was formed in 1979 by executive order of the President, combining Federal programs that deal with all phases of emergency management, for disasters of all types, into a single agency. To achieve its vision, FEMA prepares the Nation for disasters by encouraging individuals, governmental entities, and public and private groups at all levels to become informed of the risks they face, to make decisions that help keep people, property, and institutions out of harm's way, and to possess the capability and knowledge needed to act when disasters occur.
