## Local Ownership

**First, a disaster - whether natural or man-made - must be managed at the local level and "owned" by local government. State and federal officials should be ready to provide support and resources, offering one-stop-shopping essential to avoid bureaucratic overlap, conflicting priorities and delay.**

**Testimony Before the Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security ****October 29, 2001**

## Coordination

**Second, local, state and federal governments can work together most effectively when they are all using the same plan. After Hurricane Andrew, Florida made sure its emergency plan dovetailed with the federal plan, and ensured that local plans fell into line with the state plan**

## Disasters Impact Communities Not Political Subdivision Boundaries.

**Therefore We Must Involve the Community in Disaster Preparedness, Response, Recovery, and Mitigation**

**The public has a right to knowledge - so that they can make an informed choice - on how to respond to threats to their community.**

## Coordination-Cooperation-Unity

**“****For the FIRST time in my public service career, I saw a ****federal**** generator, secured by the ****state****, off-loaded from a ****county**** truck with a ****city**** forklift by a ****volunteer**** firefighter.”**
