Preferred term

state government  

Definition

  • State governments in the United States are expected to prepare for disasters in advance, respond after disasters, and assist local governments with disaster relief if those governments are unable to respond alone. While states have their own emergency management agencies, other agencies also help with disaster relief and recovery. [Source: Encyclopedia of Disaster Relief; State Governments]
