| Description | In the United States, responsibility for activity in disaster rests primarily with State and local governments. However, when State and local resources are "clearly insufficient" to cope with the effects of a disaster, Federal assistance may be procurred. In this short memorandum we will first present typical local organizations involved in disasters. This will followed by a brief presentation of State and Federal agencies either directly or indirectly involved. | en |
