ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: B
The local Office of Emergency Management involves representatives from all official and unofficial agencies in developing the community disaster plan; developing scenarios to test the plan through drills; and assessing the scope, intensity, and number of casualties (once an incident has occurred) to initiate the proper response. 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. There is no specific government agency called the State Disaster Office or the National Disaster Relief Agency.
