 100,000 Dead  182 Departments / Agencies Respond  This is one of 3 similar type events in the U.S.  Another attack is likely

Support Annexes Emergency Support Function Annexes Appendices Base Plan Organization of the NRP Incident Annexes Key Concepts Groups capabilities & resources into functions that are most likely needed during an incident (e.g., Transportation, Firefighting, Mass Care, etc.) Describes common processes and specific administrative requirements (e.g., Public Affairs, Financial Management, Worker Safety & Health, etc.) Outlines procedures, roles and responsibilities for specific contingencies (e.g., Terrorism, Catastrophic, Radiological) Concept of Operations, Coordinating Structures, Roles and Responsibilities, Definitions, etc. Glossary, Acronyms, and Compendium of National Interagency Plans

Preparedness Planning National Response Plan (NRP) (FRP, FRERP, CONPLAN)

NRP Coordination Joint Field Office (JFO) RRCC HSOC/NRCC Interagency Incident Management Group (IIMG) State Emergency Ops Center Multiagency Coordination Entity  Incident prioritization and resource allocation  Focal point for issue resolution Support and Coordination  Identifying resource shortages & issues  Gathering and providing information  Implementing MAC Entity decisions Incident Command  Directing on-scene emergency management NIMS Role JFO Coordination Group Area Command (AC) Incident Command Post (ICP) Field Level Regional Level National Level Local Emergency Ops Center The NRP includes slight variations of the base structure for terrorism response and Federal-to- Federal Support An Area Command is established as needed due to the complexity or number of incidents. Role of regional components varies depending on scope and magnitude of the incident. Key Concepts

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 8 (HSPD-8): “National Preparedness”  Establishes policies to strengthen the preparedness of the United States to prevent & respond to threatened or actual domestic terrorist attacks, major disasters & other emergencies by:  Requiring a national domestic preparedness goal,  Establishing mechanisms for improved delivery of Federal preparedness assistance to State and local governments, and  Outlining actions to strengthen preparedness capabilities of Federal, State, & local entities.

Questions ? CDR Ray Perry: (202)

Key Concepts: Construction of the NRP Supersedes  Federal Response Plan  Domestic Terrorism Concept of Ops Plan  Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan  Initial NRP Integrates  Other national-level contingency plans National Response Plan Incorporates INRP concepts  Homeland Security Ops Center (HSOC)  Interagency Incident Management Group  Principal Federal Official (PFO)  Joint Field Office (JFO) Guiding Policy : Homeland Security Act & HSPD-5 Foundation : National Incident Management System (NIMS)

Scope/Applicability Incidents of National Significance:  Credible threats, indications or acts of terrorism within the U.S.  Major disasters or emergencies (as defined by the Stafford Act)  Catastrophic incidents  Unique situations that may require DHS coordination:  When a Federal department or agency has requested DHS assistance  When the Secretary has been directed by the President  Events involving one or more Federal agencies (at the discretion of the Secretary of DHS)  National Special Security Events Key Concepts

Concept of Operations  Single approach for various Federal roles:  Direct implementation of Federal authorities  Federal to State support  Federal to Federal support  Proactive response to catastrophic incidents  Incidents handled at lowest possible organizational level  DHS receives notification of incidents and potential incidents, assesses national implications and determines need for DHS coordination  DHS operational and/or resource coordination for Incidents of National Significance Key Concepts
