National Response Framework (NRF)
• The Framework defines the key principles, roles, and structures that organize the way we respond as a nation, from the smallest incident to the largest catastrophe.
• It describes how communities, tribes, states, the federal government, and private-sector and nongovernmental partners apply these principles for a coordinated, effective response.

![Page 8: Texas Department of Public Safety Division of Emergency Management TCEQ Regional Workshop: Emergency Response Preparing for Disasters and Emergency Incidents](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649dca5503460f94ac0b4f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Incident Management in Texas
• Incidents typically begin and end locally, and are managed on a daily basis at the lowest possible geographical, organizational, and jurisdictional level.
![Page 9: Texas Department of Public Safety Division of Emergency Management TCEQ Regional Workshop: Emergency Response Preparing for Disasters and Emergency Incidents](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649dca5503460f94ac0b4f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Local Governments
• Local governments (counties, cities, or towns) respond to emergencies daily using their own resources.
• They rely on mutual aid and assistance agreements with neighboring jurisdictions.
• When local jurisdictions cannot meet incident response resource needs with their own resources or with help available from other local jurisdictions, they may ask the state for assistance.
![Page 10: Texas Department of Public Safety Division of Emergency Management TCEQ Regional Workshop: Emergency Response Preparing for Disasters and Emergency Incidents](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649dca5503460f94ac0b4f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
State of Texas
• States have significant resources of their own.
• If additional resources are required, the state may request assistance from other states through interstate mutual aid and assistance agreements such as the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC).
![Page 11: Texas Department of Public Safety Division of Emergency Management TCEQ Regional Workshop: Emergency Response Preparing for Disasters and Emergency Incidents](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649dca5503460f94ac0b4f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Federal Government
• If an incident is beyond local and state capabilities, the governor can request federal assistance.
• Emergency or major disaster declaration.
• The governor’s request is made
through the FEMA Regional Administrator and based on a finding that the disaster is of such severity and magnitude that effective response is beyond the capabilities of the state and affected local governments, federal assistance is granted.

Presidential Declaration Process
Incident occurs, and local government
assesses damage and recovery capability
Mayor/County Judge sends a letter of request
to the governor certifying that the severity of the disaster is beyond their
capability and prepares a DSO
If damages appear to exceed state/local
capability, based on the DSO, the state contacts the FEMA
regional office
Federal, state, and local government personnel
conduct an on-site preliminary damage assessment (PDA)
If warranted, the governor requests assistance from the president, certifying that the severity of the disaster is beyond local
and state capability
FEMA regional personnel summarize
the information collected and send a recommendation to FEMA headquarters
The FEMA director recommends a course
of action to the president
The president determines whether to
grant or deny the gubernatorial request
If denied, the governor may appeal the decision within 30
days
