Unit 1 – Foundations of American Democracy
Topic 1.9
How is the concept of federalism seen in the allocation of power between states and the federal government during natural disasters?
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) coordinates disaster response at a national level, while states manage local operations.
The Interstate Commerce Commission manages disaster response.
State governments entirely handle disaster responses with no federal involvement.
Only FEMA is responsible for handling all aspects of disaster response nationwide.
