Emergency Response Agency

The Emergency Response Agency, better known as ERA, was a non-governmental organization committed to providing disaster relief to the nations of Earth. They now help combat the Dinosaur threat under the command of Director James Pearce, one of their anti-Dinosaur measures is the Extinction Unit.

History
With humanity continuing on its path of destruction, a few wealthy individuals had set their minds on a new world. Using the rising sea levels and destructive weather that was engulfing the planet as their reason, this consortium of philanthropists were responsible for founding the Emergency Response Agency. Pouring billions of dollars into researching new technologies and techniques in an attempt to reverse the damage done to the Earth.

Over the coming years, the ERA became the prime force in helping the various nations across the world to tackle the harrowing conditions of Earth. They spearheaded campaigns for alternative energy sources, assisted to rebuild environmentally friendly infrastructure in disaster stricken countries, and helped in building barricades and storm shelters for the most high risk areas.

The agency's crowning achievement was the construction of a network of eleven space stations high above Earth, known as the Gateways. These stations allowed the ERA to be the first on scene in any catastrophe around the world, providing relief and assistance. The construction of these space stations was riddled with setbacks, but as the crisis on Earth worsened, the budget skyrocketed as a clear need for the stations arose.
