The chain of command from the President to FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) begins with the President, who is the Commander-in-Chief and has ultimate authority over national disaster response. The President typically delegates emergency management responsibilities to the Secretary of Homeland Security, who oversees FEMA. The FEMA Administrator, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, directly manages the agency’s operations and response efforts during disasters. Thus, the chain is: President → Secretary of Homeland Security → FEMA Administrator.
