The Director is appointed by the Secretary of Public Safety and Correctional Serv- ices with the approval of the Governor and is responsible to the Gov- ernor and the Secretary for the carrying out of the program in Mary- land. The Agency prepares for, and in the event of enemy attack or major natural disasters, coordinates emergency function of State agencies and political subdivisions to minimize and repair injury and damage, resulting from such disasters. The Agency assists the county and Baltimore City Civil Defense organizations in the implementation of the National Civil Defense program. It is the agency of State government which aids the political subdivisions of Maryland in the procurement of supplies and equipment for civil defense purposes under the Federal matching funds and surplus property programs; it also manages the program for Federal contributions to the adminis- trative and personnel expenses of the State and Local governments for civil defense. The Director is responsible to the Governor for the coordination of the State's disaster relief operations in the event of the declaration of a "major disaster" within Maryland (Code 1957, 1973 Repl.
