States Can Be Better Prepared

To Respond To Disasters





GAO reviewed sections of six States' emer-
gency plans developed or updated with Fed-
eral funds provided under the Disaster Relief
Act of 1974. These plans show the role State
agencies will perform during and after a
disaster.


Some State agencies had not developed ade-
quate procedures to determine how tasks
would be performed. None of the States
had developed training programs to prepare
State and local personnel to implement as-
signed tasks. In five States, local communities'
emergency plans were not compatible with
State plans.

This report makes a number of recommenda-
tions to the Director of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency to effect the needed
improvements.
