Answer to Question 1
ANS: D
Because of the recognition of the need to be prepared, programs have been created to address the national, state, and local management of disasters. President George W. Bush established the NIMS in 2004. The NIMS provides a systematic, proactive approach for all levels of government and nongovernmental agencies to work seamlessly to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and prevent the effects of disasters (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2012). The ARC is not a governmental agency. It is chartered by Congress to provide disaster relief. It works in partnership with FEMA, DHS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other local, state, and federal agencies to provide and manage needed services. The DHS was established to realign the existing agencies, groups, and organizations into a single department, focusing on protecting the American people and their homeland. The mission of the FEMA is to support citizens and first responders to ensure that, as a nation, everyone works together to build, sustain, and improve the capacity to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.
