Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) 04
Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) 04 : "The FCO manages Federal resource support activities related to Stafford Act disasters and emergencies. The FCO supports the PFO, when one is appointed, and assists the Unified Command. The FCO is responsible for directing and coordinating the timely delivery of Federal disaster assistance resources and programs to the affected State, and local governments, individual victims, and the private sector. The FCO works closely with the PFO, Senior Federal Law Enforcement Official (SFLEO), and other Senior Federal Officials (SFOs) representing other Federal agencies engaged in the incident management effort. In non-terrorist situations where a PFO has not been assigned, the FCO leads the Federal components of the Joint Field Office (JFO) and works in partnership with the State Coordinating Officer (SCO).
