Basic Site Map
This document is meant to be an aid for you in that it gives an overall view
of the
many topics this Website offers. The U. S. Federal Government is a logical
gathering of resources but it becomes confusing because of its size, labels,
processes, etc.--these particulars are often unique and not easy to relate to.
With this in mind, we offer this page in hopes it will make things more clear.

You will see that we have compiled a great deal of helpful non-government
links to further explain the above
organizations. Also, at times we enhance the information of one
government location with another agencies
data in order to give you the benefit of knowing when and/or how such
activities are shared. For example,
when disasters (floods, hurricanes, etc.) arise many agencies can be
involved. The Federal Emergency
Management Administration usually takes control but the Department
of Agriculture (food supplies), Small
Business Administration (loans), Department of the Treasury
(replacement of bonds and other financial
instruments), etc. often become a part of a team effort in assisting with their own specialties at such
times.
