The United States Federal Emergency Management Agency presents “A Citizen’s Guide to
Disaster Assistance,” an independent study course that provides a basic understanding of
the roles and responsibilities of the local community, State, and the federal government
in providing disaster assistance. It is appropriate for both the general public and those
involved in emergency management who need a general introduction to disaster
assistance. For more information go to the FEMA website at
