STAFFORD ACT
The Stafford Act is a 1988 amended version of
the Disaster Relief Act of 1974. It created the
system in place today by which a presidential
disaster declaration or an emergency declaration
triggers financial and physical assistance through
the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA). The Act gives FEMA the
responsibility for coordinating government-wide
relief efforts. The Federal Response Plan
implements includes the contributions of 28
federal agencies and non-governmental
organizations, such as the American Red Cross.
Sen. Robert Stafford
(R, VT 1971– 89)

DISASTER RELIEF
ICS- Incident Command Systems is a standardized approach
to the command, control, and coordination of emergency
response providing a common hierarchy within which
responders from multiple agencies can be effective
DISASTER RELIEF
ICS- Incident Command Systems was initially developed to
address problems of inter-agency responses to wildfires in
California and Arizona in 1968. Studies determined response
problems often related to communication and management
deficiencies rather than lack of resources or failure of tactics
