SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
National Response Framework (NRF)
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. The
annexes, consisting of the Emergency
Support Functions Annexes, Support
Annexes and Incident Annexes, add to
the NRF to provide additional guidance
to support Federal departments and
agencies, States, tribes, local entities,
the private sector, volunteer and other
organizations in catastrophic incidents.
The Emergency Support Function
Annexes provide the structure for
coordinating Federal interagency
support for a Federal response to an
incident. They are mechanisms for
grouping functions used to provide
Federal support to States and Federalto-Federal support, both for declared
disasters and emergencies under the
Stafford Act and for non-Stafford Act
incidents.
The Support Annexes describe how
Federal departments and agencies,
States, tribes, local entities, the private
sector, volunteer and other
organizations coordinate and execute
the common functional processes and
administrative requirements necessary
to ensure efficient and effective incident
management. The actions described in
the Support Annexes are not limited to
particular types of events but are
overarching in nature and applicable to
nearly every type of incident, In
addition, they may support several
Emergency Support Functions. The
Incident Annexes, on the other hand,
outline the actions, roles and
responsibilities associated with a
response to a particular type of
catastrophic incident.
The NRF and its supplemental
materials are written especially for
government executives, private-sector
