Background The NDHTF CONOPS explains the Federal Government’s normal disaster housing support role in operational terms, along with the Federal Government’s responsibility to maintain readiness to assume a greater role in housing disaster survivors when required. It conveys national guidance, operating principles, and a vision for public (Federal, State, Tribal, local), and individual coordination. It defines the roles, programs, authorities, and responsibilities of all entities, emphasizing the cooperative efforts required for disaster survivors and affected communities to recover from a disaster. Additionally, the CONOPS outlines the national activities that will be pursued in moving toward accomplishing the goals of the Strategy. Implementing the Strategy strengthens the Nation’s collective capability and resolve to fulfill all partner responsibilities to the American people in times of disaster or emergency, regardless of cause, scope, or complexity. The CONOPS describes how the NDHTF intends to connect critical programs, based in a wide variety of Federal agency authorities, to produce a unified effort. Congress mandated that FEMA create the Strategy in the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act of 2006, Public Law 109–295. The Strategy, published in January 2009 and available at https://www.regulations.gov under docket ID FEMA–2008–0009, frames the full range of options that unified disaster housing efforts should consider to better meet the needs of disaster survivors and affected communities. The Strategy calls for the establishment of the NDHTF to provide a full-time, multi-agency focus on disaster housing related issues, to elevate the significance of disaster housing preparedness in all jurisdictions, and to oversee implementation of the Strategy. Additionally, the Strategy sets the goal of the NDHTF to create this CONOPS through a collaborative process among the various local, State, Tribal, and Federal partners, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to meet the needs of all disaster survivors.
