On-Site Assistance Definition :
A major effort to assist local government in improving their emergency operational capability to cope with natural disasters and other peacetime emergencies, in addition to the effects of nuclear attack. It involves direct on-site (at locality) Federal, State, and local effort; and consists of a number of specific steps, such as assessing existing capabilities, surveying local needs, and developing a program to meet requirements identified. The objective is to give concrete and, where, possible, timely assistance, in addition to comprehensive long-range help, taking maximum advantage of existing Federal, State, and local resources.
