FEMA Disaster Operations Directorate
FEMA Disaster Operations Directorate : "Disaster Operations Directorate provides core federal response capabilities to save lives and to protect property in communities throughout the Nation that have been overwhelmed by the impact of a major disaster or an emergency regardless of cause. The Disaster Operations Directorate executes its mission through three primary program areas: Operational Direction, Command, and Control; Operational Teams; and Operational Planning. Disaster Operations houses several activities that were formerly part of FEMA's Response Program, such as sustained situational awareness; a command, communication and coordination system comprised of a national and regional command and coordination centers; national and regional rapid support and response teams; and a collection of competency-based and technically-oriented operational teams. Disaster Operations is also home to the Incident Management Assistance Teams mandated by PKEMRA". (DHS, FEMA OMA, Jan 2008, pp. 4-5)
