National Response Framework

• Integrates the National Contingency Plan (NCP) and other national-level contingency plans, and initiates:

• Federal Response Plan (FRP)

• Domestic Terrorism Concept of Ops Plan

• Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan.

• The NRF is used to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks, major disasters,

and other emergencies.

• The NRF can be partially or fully implemented in the context of a threat, anticipation of a significant

event, or in response to an incident requiring a coordinated Federal response.

National Incident Management System

• NIMS aims to better improve the nation’s response to emergencies. Its goal is a better system that can more

efficiently distribute resources in the event of a disaster and facilitate cooperation among diverse entities and

agencies.

• NIMS guides all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations (NGO), and the private sector to

work together to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from incidents.

• A comprehensive, nationwide, systematic approach to incident management, including the command and

coordination of incidents, resource management, and information management

• A set of concepts and principles for all threats, hazard, and events across all mission areas (Prevention,

Protection, Mitigation, Response, Recovery)

• Scalable, flexible, and adaptable; used for all incidents, from day-to-day to large-scale

• Standard resource management procedures that enable coordination amongst different jurisdictions and

organizations

• Essential principles for communication and information management

Incident Command System (ICS)

•Management system designed to enable effective and efficient domestic incident management by

integrating a combination of facilities, equipment, personnel, procedures, and communications operating

within a common organizational structure.

• Structured to facilitate activities in five major functional areas: command, operations, planning,

logistics, Intelligence & Investigation, finance, and administration.

• Purpose of enabling incident managers to identify key concerns associated with the incident—often

under urgent conditions—without sacrificing attention to any component of the command system.

Emergency Management

•Therearefourphasestoemergencymanagementthatisfollowedby

HomelandSecurity.Thesefourphasesare:

•Mitigation

•Preparedness

•Response

•Recovery

Mitigation

The mitigation through the interdisciplinary effort of the government at all levels, public sectors,

and citizens helps reduce loss of life and property through the lessening of disaster impacts.

Effective mitigation requires all agents to understand the risks, provide hard choices, and invest in

long-term community well-being.

Preparedness

•Preparednesswithemergencymanagementshowsthatthenationis

readytorespondtocrises,disasters,andanyotheremergency.In

Response

•Homeland security responds to risk/disaster to save lives, protect the environment and property, and meet basic needs of

community where the incident occurred.

•The National Response Plan plays a core role in homeland security by preventing terrorist attacks, reducing the

vulnerability of man-made and natural disasters, reducing damages, and assisting the community of those affected by the

disaster. In the incident of national significance, NRP provides a comprehensive and coordinated response from all

partners. Thus, NRP establishes disaster management qualities to protect and restore critical infrastructures and resources

necessary for the community. Also, it focuses on saving lives, providing health, and facilitating the recovery of

individuals and families. Moreover, NRP facilitates law enforcement to provide solution and apprehends perpetrators.

Recovery

•The recovery provides capabilities necessary to help the communities

affected by the disaster or incident. The creation of the National Disaster

Recovery Framework (NDRF) outlines the doctrine and strategy on

rebuilding the community and sustaining and coordinating the recovery core

capabilities identified preparedness goals in an integrated approach.
