Gov. 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
44
Gov. 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

Remarks 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.  It
    will become the nation's all-hazard incident
    manager.  
  • 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.
