A quick definition of Federal Emergency Management Agency:

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is a part of the Department of Homeland Security that helps the government get ready for emergencies. They have ten offices all over the country that work together to make sure everyone is safe during disasters like hurricanes, floods, and fires. FEMA also helps people get insurance for floods and works to prevent fires from happening. It started in 1979 and became a part of the Department of Homeland Security in 2003.

A more thorough explanation:

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is a part of the Department of Homeland Security. Its main job is to coordinate emergency-preparedness activities of the federal government through its ten regional offices. FEMA also operates the National Flood Insurance Program and is responsible for fire protection and arson control.

FEMA was created as an independent agency by Executive Order 12127 on March 31, 1979. In 2003, it became a unit in the Department of Homeland Security.

When a natural disaster like a hurricane or earthquake strikes, FEMA is responsible for coordinating the federal government's response to the emergency. This includes providing resources like food, water, and shelter to affected communities, as well as coordinating with state and local governments to ensure a swift and effective response.

Another example of FEMA's work is the National Flood Insurance Program. This program provides insurance to homeowners and businesses in flood-prone areas, helping them recover financially after a flood.

These examples illustrate how FEMA works to protect people and communities during emergencies and disasters.
