<br />Federal Emergency Management Agency <br />Regional Offices <br /> <br />The Federal Emergency Man- <br />agement Agency (FEMA) was <br />created in 1978 to provide a <br />single point of accountability <br />for all federal activities re- <br />lated to disaster mitigation <br />and emergency preparedness <br />and response. It was estab- <br />lished as an independent <br />agency in the executive <br />branch to consolidate a vari- <br />ety of existing agencies and <br />offices performing related <br />functions. The Federal Insur- <br />ance Administration (FIA), <br />formerly a part of the De- <br />partment of Housing and <br />Urban Development, is only <br />responsible for insurance <br />activities. FE.MA is responsi. <br />hie for administering the <br />National Flood Insurance <br />Program. This responsibility <br />includes assisting state and <br />local governments in the <br />implementation of flood- <br />plain management programs <br />and providing information <br />on flooding to communities <br />and individuals. Regional of- <br />fices are the primary means <br />by which FEMA:s programs <br />are carried out at the state <br />and local level. <br /> <br /> <br />, <br />IX <br />\ ,'. <br /> <br />\~ <br /> <br />......... <br /> <br /> <br />."I~ <br /> <br />on <br /> <br />VII <br /> <br />'...--., <br /> <br />. or <br /> <br />'VI <br /> <br />............._.J <br /> <br />'-,. <br />""""''''',-.". <br />.~..~"... <br /> <br />Federal Emergency Management Agency <br />Regional OlIIces and Bounclarlaa <br /> <br />Repoo 1 Connecticut, Maine, <br />Massachusetts, New <br />Hampshire, Rhode Island & <br />Vermont <br /> <br />442 J.
