Address each of the following questions related to federal-state-local collaboration during disasters.
1. Should there be national goals and strong federal direction, as during the period of
“creative federalism,” or greater flexibility for state and local officials to target funds and
efforts where they feel there is the greatest need?
2. What would happen if the federal role in emergency management was simply reduced to
providing financial support?
3. How likely is it that state representatives will address the state’s major hazards without
federal encouragement?
4. What are the advantages of developing local capabilities to reduce hazards? How likely is
it that local officials will address risks to life and property without outside funding and
support?
