In the year 1978, the President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, created an agency named the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) which was implemented by the two executive orders. This agency serves the purpose of coordinating the response as and when a disaster would occur in the United States. It helps in overwhelming the resources of the state and local authorities.

It works when the governor of the state declares the ‘state of emergency’ and then sends a formal request to the President that the federal government and the Federal Emergency Management Agency responds to it. Also, there is an exception to it when the disaster or emergency occurs to a federal asset.     

Moreover, the Federal Emergency Management Agency renders the funds as a section of preparedness efforts of the agency for training of response personnel all over the United States along with its territories.
