Natural disaster could strike in any community in a number of ways, including fire, flood, tornadoes, hurricanes, or earthquakes. A terrorist attack or hazardous spill could also cause the disaster preparedness plan of your community to be put into effect. There are many organizations at the federal level with disaster responsibilities including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Department of Transportation, the Army Corps of Engineers, and many others. States also have offices of emergency services. Local government agencies have police and fire departments that take care of disaster responsibilities. All communities plan for disasters. So, how prepared is your community?

This belongs in Government, not Military.
