www.FEMA.gov with flood plan and insurance rate maps online
informationThe website www.fema.gov serves as the official informational and
contact point for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA
is a federal agency with the mission of coordinating national
preparation and response to disasters. While FEMA is best known for
their tactical response to widespread emergencies, they also provide a
comprehensive website (with mobile capabilities) which provides a wealth
of information regarding the organization and its ongoing efforts.
On fema.gov, citizens are able to access important information to help
them prepare for disasters ranging from volcanos to floods to nuclear
power emergencies. This information includes instructions of emergency
supply kits and shelters, as well as comprehensive step by step
instructions for what to do in the event of an emergency situation.
Information is sorted and accessible by disaster type as well as by
state.
Another section of the FEMA website provides updates and resources for
those who have been victims of disasters, such as recent weather
emergencies. Helpful resources in this section of fema.gov include links
where affected individuals can learn about and apply for disaster
relief aid, such as emergency housing assistance and access to necessary
food staples. The website www.fema.gov also provides important real time information,
such as maps of federally declared disaster areas, severe weather
updates, and the current status of response and recovery operations. It
provides a central hub for those impacted by disasters to access timely,
accurate, and relevant information.
A section of www.fema.gov also caters to media inquiries, with recent
news and press releases indexed by date. Site users can also contact
FEMA directly through links on the site. With a comprehensive breadth of disaster preparation, relief, and
recovery information, fema.gov should be a citizen's first resource in
the event or threat of an emergency situation.
