From the Paper:
"Emergency management departments throughout the nation train year round in preparation for natural disasters. The more prepared the emergency management operation is in any town the more prepared, protected and secure the town residents feel. Emergency management holds responsibilities at several government levels in any disaster. The local, state and federal emergency management teams work together to coordinate the most effective and thorough plan possible in the event a natural disaster occurs.

The federal, state and local teams all have connections and interactions with each other when a natural disaster occurs.

If a tornado hit Pleasant Town USA several things would occur at each level.""
