The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is responsible for coordinating a comprehensive federal response to and a swift and effective recovery from an emergency event. DHS assumes primary responsibility for ensuring that emergency response professionals are prepared for any situation.
Within DHS, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supports citizens and first responders to ensure that, as a nation, we work to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate natural disasters. Such disasters include wildfires, flooding, hurricanes, and more.
Their website provides up-to-date information regarding natural disaster progression and location.
