THESIS STATEMENT

Unity is a very important aspect of disaster management and helps provide a quick and coordinated response to affected areas and people. Command relationship between federal and state forces when responding to domestic disasters has been an issue when the two forces are conducting joint operations within the same area while receiving command from different authorities. The command relationship models suggest that integrating state and federal forces and creating unified command and control helps provide a situation commander supported by unity. Different authorities commanding both forces should, therefore, come together and form a central commanding point to enhance unity and coordination when responding to domestic disasters and avoid the confusion witnessed during the Katrina hurricane.
