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 all-hazards 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 Federal-to-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 leaders and emergency management
practitioners. At the same time, they inform emergency management
practitioners, explaining the operating structures and tools used
routinely by first responders and emergency managers at all levels of
government.
The Department is providing the current draft of the NRF
supplemental documents for public comment; these draft documents do not
necessarily reflect the final policy of the Administration. The NRF
support documents are available online in the NRF Resource Center
located at http://www.fema.gov/NRF, and the docket for this notice at
http://www.regulations.gov.
