For nearly 130 years now, Army Engineers have performed the often perilous task of emergency response with intelligence, determination, and courage. The final publication highlights the Army Engineers’ long history of emergency operations through 1950. It sheds valuable light on
the evolution of that mission narrated against the general background of developing federal disaster assistance policies and precedents dating back to the early nineteenth century. It also describes the seven major phases through which federal disaster assistance passed before the statutory establishment in 1950 of modern policies. Years of hard work by many have led to this attractive and useful publication that contributes to our understanding of the important mission, role, and activities of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers during disasters and emergencies.
