42State Executive EOC Exercise
43Gov. Bush on Local Ownership
- First, a disaster - whether natural or man-made
- must be managed at the local level and "owned"
by local government. State and federal officials
should be ready to provide support and resources,
offering one-stop-shopping essential to avoid
bureaucratic overlap, conflicting priorities and
delay.
Testimony Before the Subcommittee on Terrorism
and Homeland Security October 29, 2001
44Gov. Bush on Coordination
- Second, local, state and federal governments can
work together most effectively when they are all
using the same plan. After Hurricane Andrew,
Florida made sure its emergency plan dovetailed
with the federal plan, and ensured that local
plans fell into line with the state plan.
Testimony Before the Subcommittee on Terrorism
and Homeland Security October 29, 2001
45Remarks by Secretary Ridge to the National
Association of Counties
- For the first time, again, in the Department of
Homeland Security, what has been known as FEMA --
many of you have worked with the Federal
Emergency Management Agency -- and, by the way,
FEMA will retain both its name and its mission,
although it will have an expanded mission. Â It
will become the nation's all-hazard incident
manager. Â - So whether it's a naturally occurring event or a
terrorist event, FEMA will be the incident
manager at the scene, providing funding and
command and control support in a disaster,
whether caused by man or by Mother Nature.
