Revised Federal Response Document - NRF
• On September 10, 2007, the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) completed an extensive review of the National Response Plan (NRP).
• As a result of this review, the NRP was renamed the National Response Framework (NRF), and changes were made to better align the document with its intended purpose.
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK
• Retains the same core principles contained in the National Incident Management System (NIMS) by which first responders from different jurisdictions and disciplines can work together to respond to natural disasters and emergencies, including acts of terrorism.
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK• Also encourages a higher state of readiness
by drawing a sharper focus on the value of preparedness activities that can improve response across all jurisdictions: planning, organizing, training, equipping, exercising, and applying lessons learned.
• Mastery of these key tasks supports unity of effort, and thus our ability to save lives, protect property, and meet basic human needs.
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK
• INTRODUCTION– Overview– Framework unpacked– Scope– Response Doctrine– Part of a Broader Strategy
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK• This National Response Framework (NRF) [or
Framework] is a guide to how the Nation conducts all-hazards response.
• The term “response” as used in this Framework includes immediate actions to save lives, protect property and the environment, and meet basic human needs.
• The Framework is written especially for government executives, private-sector and nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders, and emergency management practitioners.
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK• One of the challenges to effective response is the
relatively high turnover and short tenure among elected and appointed officials responsible for response at all levels.
• This document is an outgrowth of previous iterations of Federal planning documents.
• By adopting the term “framework” within the title, this document is now more accurately aligned with its intended purpose.
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK
• CHAPTER I – ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES– This chapter sharpens the focus on who is
involved with emergency management activities at the local, tribal, State, and Federal levels and with the private sector and NGOs.
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK
• CHAPTER II – RESPONSE ACTIONS• This chapter describes what we as a Nation
collectively do to respond to incidents. • Prepare• Respond• Recover
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK
•Prepare•Respond•Recover
CHAPTER II – RESPONSE ACTIONS
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK• CHAPTER III – RESPONSE
ORGANIZATION– This chapter explains how we as a Nation
are organized to implement response actions.
– Key Concepts – Local Response: Structures and Staffing– State Response: Structures and Staffing– Federal Response: Structures and Staffing
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK• CHAPTER IV – PLANNING: A CRITICAL
ELEMENT OF EFFECTIVE RESPONSE– This chapter emphasizes the importance of
planning and summarizes the elements of national planning structures.
– The Framework and Planning– The Value of Planning– National Preparedness Architecture– The Federal Planning Structure– The State, Tribal, and Local Planning
Structure– Criteria for Successful Planning
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK
• CHAPTER V – ADDITIONAL RESOURCES– This final chapter summarizes the
content and plan for the online NRF Resource Center
– Supporting Documents – Effective Date and Framework
Implementation
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK
• The National Response Framework is comprised of:– Core document– Emergency Support Function (ESF), – Support, and Incident Annexes – Partner Guides.
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK• Emergency Support Function
Annexes group Federal resources and capabilities into functional areas that are most frequently needed in a national response (e.g., Transportation, Firefighting, Mass Care).
• Support Annexes describe essential supporting aspects that are common to all incidents (e.g., Financial Management, Volunteer and Donations Management, Private-Sector Coordination).
NATIONAL RESPONSE FRAMEWORK• Incident Annexes address the
unique aspects of how we respond to seven broad incident categories (e.g., Biological, Nuclear/Radiological, Cyber, Mass Evacuation).
• Partner Guides provide ready references describing key roles and actions for local, tribal, State, Federal, and private-sector response partners.
Revised NIMS Document • The NIMS document was revised in 2007 to
reflect contributions from stakeholders around the Nation and lessons learned from recent incidents.
• The revision focused on clarifying concepts, issues, and topics within the document without any major policy changes.
• The document was reorganized to reflect the linear progression of emergency management and incident response, and diagrams and textboxes were added to increase clarity and highlight key concepts.
What is the National Incident Management System?
• NIMS provides a systematic, proactive approach guiding departments and agencies at all levels of government , the private sector, nongovernmental organizations to work seamlessly to prepare for, prepare for, prevent, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents, regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity, in order to reduce the loss of life, property, and harm to the environment

• Can be a unit within Plans Section• Can be a Separate General Staff section• Can be a Group or Branch within
Operations Section• Can be a member of the Command Staff
• Why do you care? You have to take care of their needs.
CREDENTIALING
• Major focus for FY 2008• With NIMS/NRF, there will be Needed
Functional Capabilities• With each position, there are Core
Competencies & Associated Behaviors• If you are not qualified already, must meet
those Competencies and Behaviors.• For training, there will training guidance with
NIMS Core Curriculum.• Receive CREDENTIALS
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO LOGISTICANS
• We are considered to be the experts in ICS
• We don’t own ICS anymore• ICS is a part of the National Incident
Management System• Important that you understand NIMS
changes and are capable of talking the talk
