Step-by-step explanation:

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is an agency of the United States Government under the Department of Homeland Security and was created by an Executive Order on April 1, 1979.

FEMA's primary goal is to coordinate responses to disasters occurring in the United States that outweigh the resources of local authorities and the state. The state governor in which the disaster occurs must declare a state of emergency and formally request the President to have FEMA and the federal government respond to the disaster. The FEMA response is to directly provide money to the state so it uses that money to solve its problem
