builds on the current National Response
Plan and, using the comprehensive
framework of the National Incident
Management System (NIMS), serves as a
guide to how the nation conducts allhazards incident management. By
adopting the term ‘‘framework’’ within
the title, the document is now more in
keeping with its intended purpose,
specifically, simplifying the language,
presentation and content; broadening
the focus from a purely Federal plan to
one that is national in its focus.
The Department provides the current
draft of the NRF for public comment; it
does not necessarily reflect the final
policy of the Administration.
The NRF explains the common
discipline and structures that have been
exercised and matured at the local, State
and national levels over time. It
captures key lessons learned from
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita,
particularly how the Federal
government is organized to support
communities and States in catastrophic
incidents.
The NRF is applicable to all Federal
departments and agencies that may be
requested to provide assistance or
conduct operations in the context of
actual or potential disasters and
includes mechanisms for the
coordination and implementation of a
wide variety of incident management
and emergency assistance activities
including Federal support to State,
local, and tribal authorities; interaction
with private-sector organizations; and
the coordinated, direct exercise of
Federal authorities, when appropriate.
The NRF is written especially for
government executives, private-sector
leaders and emergency management
practitioners. At the same time, it
informs emergency management
practitioners, explaining the operating
structures and tools used routinely by
first responders and emergency
managers at all levels of government.
FEMA seeks comment on the NRF,
which is available online in the NRF
Resource Center located at https://
