It strikes anytime, anywhere. It takes many forms -- a hurricane, an earthquake, a tornado, a flood, a fire or a hazardous spill, an act of nature or an act of terrorism. It builds over days or weeks, or hits suddenly, without warning. Every year, millions of Americans face disaster, and its terrifying consequences The National IMAT responds to different levels of disasters based on various criteria including: scope of impact, geographic size, and extent of required Federal assistance. Level I disasters represent the highest level with extensive and severe damage. Damage significantly impacts critical infrastructure, individual residences and businesses which may negatively impact multiple states and/or local economies. Level I disasters result in a Presidential Declaration and require substantial amounts of Federal assistance. Level II disasters may cause considerable damage that result in a Presidential Declaration with moderate Federal assistance. Level III disasters are not as significant in impact and scope. Level III disasters have minor levels of damage that may result in a Presidential Declaration with low to moderate Federal assistance. The National IMAT generally responds to Level I disasters or potential Level I disasters that, due to the severity, size, location, actual or potential impacts on public health and welfare, require substantial direct Federal assistance and special teams. Because of the complexity and extraordinary degree of Federal efforts, Level I disasters require a National IMAT to manage, direct, coordinate, and integrate Federal efforts with the State and local response. The National IMAT may also respond to Level II and III disasters. The incumbent is the direct representative of the President, Secretary of Homeland Security, and FEMA Administrator during deployed disaster operations. When deployed to catastrophic or near catastrophic incidents, the incumbent reports directly to the FEMA Administrator. During periods when not deployed for disaster response, the incumbent reports to the Director of the Operations Division.
