## 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

## 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.

## 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

## Incident of National Significance

- An  Incident of National Significance is an actual or potential high-impact event that requires robust coordination of Federal response on 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.

## Plan Structure

**Support Annexes**

**Emergency Support Function Annexes**

**Appendices**

**Base Plan**

**Incident Annexes**

- 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, Authorities, and Compendium of National Interagency Plans

## Emergency Support Functions

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

## Interior Participation in ESF

- DOI has a role in all 15 ESF.
- Prior to Katrina, DOI was not involved with “Urban Search and Rescue.”  The ESF will now encompass all forms of rescue; DOI/NPS is being asked to serve as a Primary Agency.
- DOI serves as primary for Natural, Cultural and Historic Properties component of ESF-11.
- DOI provides support for all other ESF.
