National Response Framework: Principles for Prevention, Protection, Mitigation, & Recovery, Lecture notes of Management of Health Service

An overview of the National Response Framework (NRF), focusing on its guiding principles and integration with prevention, protection, mitigation, and recovery. The NRF emphasizes engaged partnership, tiered response, scalable and adaptable operational capabilities, unity of effort through unified command, and readiness to act. Response organizations coordinate with those responsible for preventing imminent acts of terrorism or attacks to understand potential threats and create plans. The NRF integrates with protection to ensure the protection of critical infrastructure and rapid restoration of commercial activities. Effective mitigation efforts directly limit the impact of an emergency on community lifelines. Recovery operations begin as response activities are underway, and recovery depends on information sharing between Emergency Support Functions (ESFs) and the six Recovery Support Functions under the National Disaster Recovery Framework.

ICSโ€800: Introduction to National Response Framework

Lesson 1

National Response Framework Overview

1 Engaged Partnership

Effective partnership relies on engaging the whole community in preparing for and responding to disasters in order to manage risk to communities and infrastructure. Layered, mutually supporting capabilities of individuals, communities, the private sector, NGOs, and governments at all levels allow for coordinated planning in times of calm and effective response in times of crisis. Guiding Principles of Response Mission Area: # 1 of 5

2 Tiered Response

Basic premise of NRF is that incidents are handled at lowest jurisdictional level possible. Many incidents require unified response from local agencies, private sector, and NGOs. Other incidents may require additional support from neighboring jurisdictions or state. A small number require Federal support. National response protocols recognize this and are structured to provide additional, tiered levels of support. Guiding Principles of Response Mission Area: # 2 of 5

3 Scalable, Flexible & Adaptable Operational Capabilities

As incidents change in size, scope, and complexity, response efforts must adapt. The number, type, and sources of resources must be able to expand rapidly to meet changing needs associated with cascading effects. The National Incident Management System concepts and principles add this flexibility when dealing with an incident. As needs grow and change, response processes must remain nimble and adaptable. Guiding Principles of Response Mission Area: # 3 of 5

4 Unity of Effort Through Unified Command

Success requires unity of effort, which respects the chain of command of each participating organization while ensuring seamless coordination across jurisdictions in support of common objectives. As a team effort, Unified Command allows all agencies with jurisdictional authority and/or functional responsibility for the incident to provide joint support through mutually developed incident objectives and strategies. Each participating agency maintains its own authority, responsibility, and accountability. Guiding Principles of Response Mission Area: # 4 of 5

Core Capabilities

Community Lifelines

# 1 Safety & Security

Seven Community Lifelines:

# 2 Food Water & Shelter

# 3 Health & Medical

# 7 Hazardous Materials

Response Mission Area Integrates With Protection Protection of critical infrastructure and rapid restoration of commercial activities are crucial aspects of protection mission area. Many of the 16 critical infrastructure within protection mission area are also in response mission area. As part of the National Infrastructure Protection Plan, public and private sector partners in each of the 16 critical infrastructure sectors and agencies at all levels of government have developed and maintain sector-specific plans that focus on the unique operating conditions and risk landscape within that sector.

  • Response agencies should utilize sector coordination constructs to elicit advice and recommendations regarding systemic vulnerabilities, cross-sector interdependencies, and sector-level challenges that could hinder restoration.
  • Impacts to infrastructure may result in the need for consequence management (e.g., cyberattacks). Response Mission Area Integrates With Mitigation Effective mitigation efforts directly limit impact of an emergency, disaster, or attack on community lifelines. The National Mitigation Investment Strategy recommends actions for all stakeholders to reduce risks on lifelines, buildings, infrastructure, ecosystems, and historic, and natural resources. Planning, response, and regulatory organizations coordinate to reduce risks to critical infrastructure by evaluating potential threats, encouraging resiliency, and planning for redundancy in services.
  • Response operations should leverage organizations with relevant risk management equities to ascertain threats, understand vulnerabilities, and predict lifeline and survivor impacts or needs to enable more expedient response operations.
  • Opportunities to lessen the risks of future hazards are an important element to building national resilience. Response Mission Area Integrates With Recovery As response activities are underway, recovery operations must begin. Applying community lifelines construct enables response officials to identify requirements and sequence steps to recovery, including activities that support the economy. This includes providing essential health and safety services; restoring utilities, reestablishing transportation, providing food, water, and shelter; protecting natural and cultural resources; ensuring environmental compliance; reunifying families and pets and reopening schools and child care centers.
  • Recovery also depends on information sharing between ESFs and the six Recovery Support Functions (RSF) under National Disaster Recovery Framework.
  • Recovery programs - including sheltering and housing, volunteer organization coordination, donations management, small business and agriculture assistance or loans - often support response and recovery objectives.
