The Federal Emergency Management Agency is the central agency within the Federal Government for emergency planning,preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery. Working closely with State and local governments, the Agency funds emergency programs, offers technical guidance and training, and deploys Federal resources in times of catastrophic disaster. These coordinated activities ensure a broad-based program to protect life and property and provide recovery assistance after a disaster.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was established by Executive Order 12127 of March 31, 1979, consolidating the Nation's emergency-related programs.

The Agency reports directly to the White House and manages the President's Disaster Relief Fund,the source of most Federal funding assistance after major disasters. Agency programs include response to and recovery from major natural disasters and human-caused emergencies, emergency management planning, flood-plain management,hazardous materialsplanning, dam safety, and multihazard response planning. Other activities include plans to ensure the continuity of the Federal Government during national security emergencies,and Federal response to the consequences of major terroristincidents.
