FEMA - The Federal Emergency Management Agency

DISASTER. It strikes anytime, anywhere. It takes many forms - a hurricane, an earthquake, a tornado, a flood, a fire or a hazardous spill, an act of nature or an act of terrorism. It builds over days or weeks, or hits suddenly, without warning. Every year, millions of Americans face disaster, and its terrifying consequences.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency -- FEMA -- is an independent agency of the United States Federal government, reporting to the President. Since its founding in 1979, FEMA's mission has been clear:

To reduce loss of life and property and protect our nation's critical infrastructure from all types of hazards through a comprehensive, risk-based, emergency management program of mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery.
