Help Is on the Way
by MARCIA AMIDON LUSTED
When disaster strikes, the following organizations are among the first to spring into action.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
When a state finds its resources overwhelmed by a disaster and declares a state of emergency, FEMA prepares to step in. FEMA is a U.S. government agency whose purpose is to help coordinate a plan of action when a disaster strikes. These scenarios can include natural disasters as well as terrorism. When an event such as a hurricane or a tornado occurs, FEMA personnel work with state and local officials and organizations to provide immediate help with food and shelter. Later, they coordinate long-term housing, insurance claims, and financial assistance for victims. FEMA also focuses on disaster preparedness, such as how to create emergency supply kits and how to protect property from potential damage. A
National Guard
The U.S. Army National Guard not only serves as a military force during wartime, but it also functions as a first responder during times of crisis on the home front. Its motto is “Always ready, always there.” For example, 50,000 National Guard members were sent to the Gulf states to aid in the recovery after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. National Guard troops help with evacuations and search-and-rescue missions as well as fill law enforcement and security positions, including enforcing curfews and preventing looting. They also supply heavy equipment for repairs and rebuilding and helicopters for aerial surveys of disaster areas. B
