History and role
In the United States, the Constitution assigns the responsibility of public health and safety with state governments. When an emergency or disaster occurs in a community, the resources of the local governments will be used first to manage the incident. With small-scale incidents, the response of local police, fire, and emergency medical services is usually sufficient. Once the resources of the local government are overwhelmed, the mayor of the city, town, or village will call upon the resources of the state for additional help. Likewise, the Federal government is called upon to act when the resources of local and state governments have been overwhelmed. Governors of the affected states will request a disaster declaration from the President of the United States.
As a result of these foundations, emergency management is often considered a fundamental function of government. The structure and functions of emergency management have developed as government agencies and businesses have continued to search for ways to manage the effects of emergencies and disasters. In the public sector, the primary means of addressing the management of emergencies is accomplished through relevant legislation. The earliest known attempt at providing assistance through legislation occurred when a New Hampshire town was destroyed by a fire in 1803. In response to the fire, a Congressional Act was passed to provide financial assistance to the town. However, significant involvement of the U.S. government in emergency management functions did not occur until the Franklin Roosevelt administration.
