Coordination between federal and state/tribal/territorial government has special significance in disaster recovery. This is because Federal RSFs must work with and through the state government - at their request.
State, tribal, territorial, and local governments are responsible for:
- Determining recovery goals and priorities
- Managing recovery efforts in their jurisdictions
- Coordinating allocation of federal support
Federal RSFs integrate closely with their state/tribal equivalents to assist them in:
- Assessment
- Goal development
- Implementation planning
- Execution tasks
