Definición

  • Local emergency management agencies—those organized at the city, town, county, or parish level and funded by and answerable to that local government—are typically the first agencies to respond to most emergencies, whether directly or through the coordination of local government resources. Many emergencies, including chemical spills, traffic accidents, structure collapses, fires, animal threats, and many weather emergencies, occur only on the local level and are best handled by local agencies that have both proximity and relevant familiarity.
