Abstract:Hurricane Andrew, which struck South Dade County, Florida on the morning of 24 August 1992, was the "worst natural disaster ever to hit the United States..." The capabilities of the local and state governments to respond to the disaster were quickly overwhelmed and federal assistance was requested. Due to the scope of the disaster massive Department of Defense (DOD) support was required. This paper reviews the history of Federal disaster relief legislation and DOD's rol in domestic disaster support.
