What is FEMA?
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is a United States government agency tasked with coordinating disaster response and recovery efforts. Its primary responsibilities include providing assistance to individuals and communities affected by natural or man-made disasters, supporting state and local governments in emergency management efforts, and promoting disaster preparedness and mitigation initiatives nationwide.
