Book excerpt: This texts creates a coherent narrative that both describes and explains the essential elements of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act) and related legal authorities underpinning FEMA's disaster operations. The Disaster Operations Legal Resource (DOLR) is organized around the construct of an Emergency Management Operation Life Cycle (Chapter 1) with phases involving distinct operational and legal concerns, including: Disaster Readiness (Chapter 2), Declarations (Chapter 3), Response (Chapter 4), Public Assistance (Chapter 5), Individual Assistance (Chapter 6), Hazard Mitigation (Chapter 7), Environmental and Historic Preservation Laws (Chapter 8), Information Management (Chapter 9), Human Capital (Chapter 10), and Ethics (Chapter 11). The DOLR is intended to provide FEMA, as well as state, tribal, and local government (and non-governmental partners), with detailed legal information that explains how and when the Stafford Act applies, and how it relates to the Homeland Security Act (HSA) and other relevant authorities and policies. In addition, law enforcement and first responders may be interested in the DOLR.
