We provide immediate financial assistance to emergency response organizations and support local communities with resources and supplies. We also collaborate with partnering organizations to coordinate relief efforts and provide specialized expertise in disaster response.
The fist line of emergency response and incident management resources is local or tribal resources. Local mutual aid and assistance agreements are also a line of emergency response.
The Sequence of Delivery for Disaster Assistance typically follows this order: assessment, mobilization, response, recovery, and mitigation. Initially, an assessment identifies needs and resources, followed by mobilization to gather aid. The response phase involves delivering immediate assistance, while recovery focuses on restoring services and rebuilding. Lastly, mitigation strategies aim to reduce future disaster risks.
