About

This brief video showcases FEMA's National Response Coordination Center (NRCC) and its role in disaster response. The NRCC is the main hub for coordinating emergency operations, ensuring a unified response among FEMA, regions, tribes, states, and territories. It includes teams that gather information on disasters using data and maps to identify impacted areas. Federal agencies work together at the NRCC to provide resources and support recovery efforts. The center also manages communication through social media and live interviews to inform survivors about assistance available before, during, and after disasters.
