DHS Responds to Mid-Atlantic Flooding

assets from two key operational component agencies, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) and the United States Coast Guard, in support to
state and local response efforts to ongoing flooding in the Mid-Atlantic
region. State and local authorities have primary responsibility for disaster
response, and no formal disaster assistance requests of the federal
government have been made by governors of impacted states at this time.
