  1. Interior Participation in the National Response Plan Emergency Management Division Office of Law Enforcement, Security and Emergency Management May 2006

  2. Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5:Management of Domestic Incidents The heads of Federal departments … • Shall participate in the National Response Plan • Shall assist and support … the development and maintenance of the NRP

  3. Purpose • The purpose of the NRP is to establish a comprehensive, national, all hazards approach to domestic incident management across a spectrum of activities including prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. • The NRP provides a framework for Federal interaction with State, local, and tribal government and the private sector.

  4. Applicability • The NRP applies to all incidents requiring a coordinated Federal Response as part of an appropriate combination of Federal, State, local, tribal private-sector and non-governmental entities. • For incidents of lesser severity than an “Incident of National Significance,” NRP annexes and supplemental plans may be implemented by Departments and Agencies within existing authorities

  5. Incident of National Significance • An Incident of National Significance is an actual or potential high-impact event that requires robust coordination of Federal response in order to save lives and minimize damage, and provide the basis for long-term community and economic recovery. • The Secretary of Homeland Security declares an Incident of National Significance.

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

  7. Emergency Support Functions • NRP contains 15 Emergency Support Functions (ESF). ESF provides the mechanism to coordinate Federal support. • A Federal Department or Agency* is assigned as “Coordinator” for each ESF. • One or more “Primary Agencies” manage mission assignments within each ESF. • Multiple “Support Agencies” provide resources for each ESF. * American Red Cross is designated for ESF-6

  8. Interior Participation in ESF • DOI has a role in all 15 ESF. • DOI serves as Primary Agency for Natural, Cultural and Historic Properties component of ESF-11. • Prior to Katrina, DOI was not involved with “Urban Search and Rescue.” The ESF will now encompass all forms of search and rescue; DOI has been proposed as Primary Agency for “Backcountry” component of that ESF-9. • DOI provides support to all other ESF. • As a Department, we have assigned responsibility for individual ESF to specific bureaus and offices.
