You are at your home when you feel a tremor on the floor. Next, you feel the ground shake as you now recognize that an earthquake is occurring. As a homeland security student, you have learned that there are several organizations that come together when a crisis occurs. You decide to be proactive and find these organizations to see if you can assist in the recovery of the earthquake. To help, you must be able to identify the organizations that would respond to this hazard, and who responds first.
