Synopsis
The Federal Emergency Management Authority (FEMA) was organized to provide assistance to citizens who are victims of natural disasters. In the past decade, FEMA has managed to evolve from an agency run by politicians, to a well-run emergency response organization, and now a disaster mitigation team. This progress was made by emphasizing teamwork with state and local governments, as well as other federal agencies. An important part of the organization's disaster response are its Disaster Assistance Employees -- people across the country who act as reservists for FEMA.
