Hinweis der Redaktion
According to FEMA, emergency management must be: Comprehensive – considering and taking into account all hazards, all phases, all stakeholders and allimpacts relevant to disasters.2. Progressive – anticipating future disasters and taking preventive and preparatory measures to build disaster-resistant and disaster-resilient communities.3. Risk-driven – using sound risk management principles (hazard identification, risk analysis and impact analysis) in assigning priorities and resources. 4. Integrated – ensuring unity of effort among all levels of government and all elements of a community.5. Collaborative – creating and sustaining broad and sincere relationships among individuals and organizations to encourage trust, advocate a team atmosphere, build consensus and facilitate communication.6. Coordinated – synchronizing the activities of all relevant stakeholders to achieve a common purpose.7. Flexible – using creative and innovative approaches in solving disaster challenges.8. Professional – valuing a science- and knowledge-based approach based on education, training, experience, ethical practice, public stewardship and continuous improvement.
The private sector also is a key partner in local, tribal, state and federal incident management activities. The private sector is responsible for most of the critical infrastructure and key resources in the nation. They also provide goods and services critical to the response and recovery process, either on a paid basis or through donations. To engage these key partners most effectively, local, tribal, state and federal governments coordinate and establish appropriate roles and responsibilities. They also must train and exercise plans and procedures before an event occurs.
The National Response Framework supersedes the National Response Plan and more adequately serves as a guide to how the nation conducts incident response. The new name better aligns the document with its intent. The Framework presents the guiding principles that enable all response partners to prepare for and provide a unified national response to disasters and emergencies – from the smallest incident to the largest catastrophe. The Framework defines the key principles, roles, and structures that organize the way we respond as a Nation. It describes how communities, tribes, States, the Federal Government, and private-sector and nongovernmental partners apply these principles for a coordinated, effective national response. The National Response Framework is always in effect, and elements can be implemented at any level at any time.
The NRF is composed of two integrated parts: a printed component and an on-line component.The printed core document is the heart of the Framework. It describes response doctrine and guidance; roles and responsibilities; primary preparedness and response actions; and core organizational structures and processes. The core document will be reviewed every four years. The on-line component, named The NRF Resource Center (www.fema.gov/nrf), contains supplemental materials including annexes, partner guides, and other supporting documents and learning resources. Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) are mechanisms to group and provide Federal resources and capabilities to support State and local responders.Support Annexes are essential in supporting aspects of the Federal response common to all incidents.Incident Annexes outline incident-specific applications of the Framework.Partner Guides: is the next level of detail in response actions tailored to the actionable entity.This information is more dynamic and will change and adapt more frequently as we learn lessons from real world events, incorporate new technologies, and adapt to changes within our organizations.
Slide 35- The NEW NRF Resource CenterThe NRF Resource Center can be found at www.fema.gov/NRF. The Framework is supported by an online tool designed especially for emergency management practitioners, the NRF Resource Center. This online resource will grow and routinely evolve in support of the Framework and those who work with it. The core Framework should require significant change only infrequently. However, the operational planning and detailed work of developing stronger emergency management plans and capabilities will require a continued rapid pace of change in the months and years ahead.

Slide 35-ESFsThe Federal Government and many State governments organize much of their resources and capabilities – as well as those of certain private-sector and nongovernmental organizations – under 15 Emergency Support Functions (ESFs). ESFs align categories of resources and provide strategic objectives for their use. There is a coordinating agency for each ESF, as well as one or more primary and support agencies as well.Each ESF and important information regarding each one is available at the NRF Resource Center. The USDA is involved to some degree in each ESF. The Role of the USDA will be covered in the next module.
Slide-36 Support AnnexThe Support Annexes describe how Federal departments and agencies; State, tribal, and local entities; the private sector; volunteer organizations; and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) coordinate and execute the common functional processes and administrative requirements necessary to ensure efficient and effective incident management. During an incident, numerous procedures and administrative functions are required to support incident management. Each annex is managed by one or more coordinating agencies and is supported by various cooperating agencies. The USDA play a cooperating role in all but one of the 8 support annexes. Cooperating agencies are those entities that have specific expertise and capabilities to assist the coordinating agency in executing incident-related tasks or processes. When the procedures within a Support Annex are needed to support elements of an incident, the coordinating agency will notify cooperating agencies of the circumstances.

Slide 37-Incident AnnexesThe Incident Annexes describe the concept of operations to address specific contingency or hazard situations or an element of an incident requiring specialized application of the Framework. Of particular note to the USDA is the coordinating role it plays with the Department of Health and Human Services in the Food and Agriculture Incident Annex. Specific details may be found at the NRF Resource Center.Source: http://www.fema.gov/emergency/nrf/incidentannexes.htm
Slide 38-CollaborateLessons Learned Information Sharing(LLIS.gov) is the national network of lessons learned, best practices, innovative ideas, and preparedness information for homeland security and emergency response professionals. By facilitating the sharing of knowledge, LLIS.gov enhances the nation's ability to prepare for and respond to all hazards.All response partners are encouraged to share lessons learned, best practices, and other resources related to the National Response Framework through the LLIS collaborative network.Source: http://www.fema.gov/emergency/nrf/collaboration.htm
Slide 39-Training ResourcesThrough the Emergency Management Institute, FEMA offers independent study courses, as well as information regarding training conducted by states. These courses directly support National efforts to train people at all levels on their role in the Framework. Source: http://training.fema.gov/nrfres.asp
Slide 40 – NRF Resource CenterThe NRF Resource Center is your virtual library and planning aid when it comes to the National Response Framework. Take time to become familiar with how to use the site and how it can assist you in performing your role in the Framework successfully.
Slide 52 – Role of the USDA in ESFsThe USDA or the Forest Service division of the USDA have supporting roles in every ESF. As noted earlier, the USDA takes the coordinating role for ESFs 4, Firefighting, and 11, Agriculture and Natural Resources.
Slide 53-Additional ESF InformationThe details of the USDA’s role in each ESF can be found online at the NRF Resource Center. Visit www.fema.gov/emergency/nrf.
Slide 54 – Role of the USDA in ESFsThe USDA also plays the part of a cooperating agency in the Support Annex for 7 of the 8 areas. Cooperating agencies are those entities that have specific expertise and capabilities to assist the coordinating agency in executing incident-related tasks or processes. When the procedures within a Support Annex are needed to support elements of an incident, the coordinating agency will notify cooperating agencies of the circumstances. The USDA Serves as the Sector-Specific Agencies or SSA for the Agriculture and Food Sector. The agency advises and assists in assessing impacts to meat, poultry, and egg products.
Slide 55 – Role of the USDA in ESFsThe Incident Annexes describe the concept of operations to address specific contingency or hazard situations or an element of an incident requiring specialized application of the Framework.The USDA plays a cooperating role in the Biological and Mass Evacuation Incident Annexes.In the Biological Incident Annex ,The Department of Agriculture (USDA) serves as the Government’s primary agency for outbreaks and/or attacks that may occur in animals used in the commercial production of food. USDA may also serve as the Government’s primary agency for attacks on food processing/slaughtering facilities under its regulatory purview. In the event of a food or animal event, HHS may provide additional public health and veterinary epidemiological assistance to USDA. Wildlife events will be placed under the purview of the Department of the Interior (DOI), while those involving marine animals will be managed and monitored by the Department of Commerce. For the Mass Evacuation Incident Annex, the USDA Provides guidance for the evacuation and collocation of companion and service animals. Provides staff and support for identifying housing for evacuees.
Slide 55-Incident Annex ChartThe USDA shares the coordinating role in the Food and Agriculture Incident Annex with the Department of Health and Human Services. Coordinating agencies support the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) incident management mission by providing the leadership, expertise, and authorities to implement critical and specific aspects of the response. In accordance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5, DHS retains responsibility for overall domestic incident management. The USDA provides leadership by assuring the safety and security of processed meat, poultry and egg products through the FSIS; coordinating animal and plant disease and pest response through the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS); and providing nutritional assistance through the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS). (Note: USDA, through FSIS, has statutory authority for meat, poultry, and egg products.)
Slide 62-EDEN and the Local CommunityThe national Cooperative Extension System doesn’t prescribe a role for disaster education. You will have to determine your role in your community based on local needs and partnerships. For example the Extension office at NDSU partnered with a local radio station during the 2009 flood to provide valuable information for area residents affected by the flood. The site was referred to on-air numerous times throughout the flood.
Slide 54 – Role of the USDA in ESFsThe USDA also plays the part of a cooperating agency in the Support Annex for 7 of the 8 areas. Cooperating agencies are those entities that have specific expertise and capabilities to assist the coordinating agency in executing incident-related tasks or processes. When the procedures within a Support Annex are needed to support elements of an incident, the coordinating agency will notify cooperating agencies of the circumstances. The USDA Serves as the Sector-Specific Agencies or SSA for the Agriculture and Food Sector. The agency advises and assists in assessing impacts to meat, poultry, and egg products.
