  1. Incident Management and the NIMS Session 3 Slide Deck

  2. Session Objectives • Define and describe emergency management coordination mechanisms, and explain why they are necessary • Describe the most common components of emergency operations plans • Discuss the evolution of national emergency management coordination mechanisms in the United States • Provide an overview of the National Response Framework (NRF)

  3. Emergency Management The government agency that is responsible with “coordinated and collaborative integration of all relevant stakeholders into the four phases of emergency management (mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery) related to natural, technological, and intentional hazards.” NGA, 1978

  4. All functions of emergency management, most notably response and recovery, are dependent upon: • Effective communication of accurate and actionable information • The coordination of capabilities, resources, and actions

  5. Emergency Management Players • Local governments • Cities • Counties • Parishes • State, Territorial, or Tribal Governments • The Federal Government • Nonprofit organizations • Community and charitable foundations • Businesses • International agencies / organizations • Religious organizations • Unaffiliated individuals

  6. Coordination Mechanism Components • Hazard Risk Analysis • A basic (“base”) Plan  • Functional Annexes • Hazard-specific Annexes

  7. Base Plan Components • Introductory Material • Purpose • Situation and Assumptions • Concept of Operations • Organization and Assignment of Responsibilities • Administration and Logistics • Plan Development and Logistics • Authorities and References

  8. Direction and control Notification and warning Evacuation Communications Public works Public information Fire suppression Search and rescue Emergency medical services and mass care Mortuary services Security and perimeter control Transportation Short- and long-term recovery Financial management Volunteer and donations management Vulnerable populations Functional Annex Examples

  9. Emergency management coordination is most effective when local government administrators, emergency managers, or chief executives of either the fire or police department maintain leadership at the most local level

  10. Coordination Evolution • 1979 – FEMA Established • 1988 – Robert T. Stafford Act • 1992 – Federal Response Plan • 2004 – National Response Plan • 2008 – National Response Framework

  11. Transportation Communications Public Works and Engineering Firefighting Information and Planning Mass Care Resource Support Health and Medical Services Urban Search and Rescue Hazardous Materials Food Energy FRP ESFs

  12. The NRP • “[A]n all-discipline, all-hazards plan that establishes a single, comprehensive framework for the management of domestic incidents. • “It provides the structure and mechanisms for the coordination of Federal support to State, local, and tribal incident managers and for exercising direct Federal authorities and responsibilities. • “The NRP assists in the important homeland security mission of preventing terrorist attacks within the United States; reducing the vulnerability to all natural and manmade hazards; and minimizing the damage and assisting in the recovery from any type of incident that occurs.” (NRP, 2005)

  13. NRP Application • Federal support to state, local, and tribal governments • Federal-to-federal support • Public and private-sector domestic incident management integration

  14. NRP Primary Agency A federal agency designated as an ESF primary agency serves as a federal executive agent under the Federal Coordinating Officer (or Federal Resource Coordinator for non-Stafford Act incidents) to accomplish the ESF mission.

  15. NRF and NIMS • The NRF was created in full alignment with the National Incident Management System (NIMS). These two key components of national emergency management cannot operate without each other, and must therefore be complementary. Such interconnectedness increases the likelihood that they work effectively for emergency management agencies at all government levels when actual disasters occur.

  16. NRF Key Principles • Engaged Partnership • Tiered Response • Scalable, Flexible, and Adaptable Operational Capabilities • Unity of Effort Through Unified Command • Readiness To Act

  17. NRF Organization • Core Document • Emergency Support Function Annexes • Support Annexes • Partner Guides
