FEMA has developed a basic plan for supplemental Federalassistance for a major earthquake in the San Francisco Bay area. Thisplan, however, covers only the emergency phase of response (first fewdays of efforts to save lives and protect property). In addition, FEMAis participating i...n a broader effort concentrating in SouthernCalifornia. This cooperative effort is getting under way with Stateand local governments, other Federal departments, voluntary agencies, practicing professions, business and commercial interests, labor, educators, and researchers.
