Working in conjuction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Played an unprecedented role in delivering emergency housing assistance to low-income families left homeless by the earthquake. This was the first natural disaster in which HUD played such an immediate and extensive role.
