    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.

    equipment, training, and exercises; provides centralized coordination of
    programs, standards development, resources, and training to respond to
    terrorist events; and coordinates State and local Citizens Corps efforts
