An Emergency Management Agency (EMA) is a government organization responsible for coordinating responses to disasters and emergencies. This includes natural disasters like hurricanes and floods, as well as man-made incidents such as chemical spills or terrorist attacks. The agency works to prepare communities, respond effectively during emergencies, and help with recovery efforts afterward. EMAs often collaborate with other agencies, such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the United States, local governments, and non-profit organizations. Their goal is to minimize the impact of disasters on people and property through planning, training, and public education initiatives.
