State Emergency Management Agency

The State Emergency Management Agency is a government organization responsible for coordinating efforts to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters like hurricanes, floods, and other emergencies. It develops plans, allocates resources, and works with local agencies, communities, and FEMA to ensure effective disaster management. Its goal is to protect lives, property, and the environment by minimizing the impact of emergencies through preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. Essentially, it acts as a central hub for organizing and supporting disaster management activities across the state.
