Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is a U.S. government agency under the Department of Homeland Security. Its primary role is to coordinate the federal government's response to natural and man-made disasters, such as hurricanes, floods, and terrorist attacks. FEMA provides assistance to affected individuals and communities, helps with disaster preparedness and recovery, and supports state and local governments in managing emergencies. By planning and responding effectively, FEMA aims to minimize the impact of disasters on people's lives and property, ensuring a quicker return to normalcy for affected areas.
