with The
Federal
Emergency Management Agency
located in the
U.S. or any other nation,
or involved with their official
government web-site. This
name may be in use by other
nations of the world using
their individual country code
name extension and not necessarily
always by the U.S. We offers
this web-site link as an easy-to-find
link to their official website.
Typically a government site
(The U.S. for example, and
some other countries) use
a dot-gov name extension instead
of the more well known dot-com
or dot-org. To avoid any confusion
to a government website we
have posted a link to the
official government website
on this page for easy access.
However, in the unlikely event
a Government Agency determines
our use of this name is causing
confusion the official government
agency or department can receive
this domain name at no cost
upon their official request,
which of course will need
to be verified for needed
authenticity.
