EDITORS’ NOTE
The Domestic Operational Law (DOPLAW) Handbook for judge advocates is a product of the
Center for Law and Military Operations (CLAMO). Its content is derived from statutes, Executive
Orders and Directives, national policy, DoD Directives, joint publications, service regulations, field
manuals, and lessons learned by judge advocates and other practitioners throughout federal and
state government. This edition includes substantial revisions. It incorporates new guidance set
forth in Department of Defense Directive 3025.18 (Defense Support of Civil Authorities),
Department of Defense Instruction 3025.21 (Defense Support of Civilian Law Enforcement
Agencies), numerous new National Planning Framework documents, and many other recently
updated publications. It provides amplifying information on wildfire response, emergency mutual
assistance compacts, the role of the National Guard and Army units in domestic response, and
provides valuable lessons learned from major incidents such as the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil
spill and Hurricane Sandy of 2012.
The Handbook is designed to serve as a working reference and training tool for judge advocates;
however, it is not a substitute for independent research. With the exception of footnoted doctrinal
material, the information contained in this Handbook is not doctrine. Judge advocates advising in
this area of the law should monitor developments in domestic operations closely as the landscape
continues to evolve. Further, the information and examples provided in this Handbook are advisory
only. Finally, the content and opinions expressed in this Handbook do not represent the official
position of the U.S. Army or the other services, the National Guard Bureau, the Office of The Judge
Advocate General, The Judge Advocate General’s Legal Center and School, or any other
government agency.
This Handbook is also available in electronic format from the CLAMO website at
https://www.jagcnet.army.mil/. CLAMO also provides lessons learned from domestic operations
and other resources on its Domestic Operations portal on the CLAMO website. The continued
vitality of this publication depends upon feedback from the field. Accordingly, CLAMO
encourages your suggestions, comments, and work products for incorporation into the next edition
of this Handbook. You may contact CLAMO at (434) 971-3248/3210 (COMM), 521-3248/3210

PREFACE
Brigadier General Michael L. Cunniff1
The Adjutant General of New Jersey
The Domestic Operational Law (DOPLAW) Handbook for judge advocates continues to be
renowned as an essential tool for attorneys in the field. It has evolved significantly since its initial
publication in 2001 before the events of September 11th. As the domestic response domain has
evolved, the Handbook has adapted to address emerging laws and policy. The book has always
served to keep military attorneys in tune with the latest developments in domestic response such as
the creation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the maturation of the National
Response Plan into the National Response Framework, and the establishment of U.S. Northern
Command and its role in domestic response, among other items.
With this publication, there are many more new developments worthy of notation. The
Department of Defense has recently updated its Defense Support of Civilian Law Enforcement
Agencies (DoDI 3025.21), Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DoDD 3025.18), and numerous
other policies - all of which are discussed within this latest version of the Handbook. Perhaps the
most noteworthy evolution in domestic response since the last publication of the Handbook is the
fact that DHS has significantly updated its National Preparedness Policy in accordance with the
direction of the 2011 Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8). DHS has now published four of five
required National Planning Frameworks, including an updated National Response Framework, all of
which are part of the National Preparedness System (NPS). Judge advocates will find a useful
summary of the current status of the NPS inside. The terms and procedures in these new NPS
documents reflect an increased push for integration with state, local, and other federal agency
responders and will permeate future responses. These concepts represent the future of emergency
and disaster response, and judge advocates will improve their ability to provide advice greatly by
learning them.
The Handbook has also expanded significantly due to lessons learned from our country’s
most significant disasters including Hurricane Katrina, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and, most
recently, Super Storm Sandy. It continues to build on the wide-ranging experiences that field
operators and judge advocates gained through their service in these responses, rendering this update
not solely a collection of law and policy, but also a practical guide that will aid deployed judge
advocates in real-time and while at their commander’s side facing complex and uncertain challenges
in emergencies and disasters.
1 Brigadier General Michael L. Cunniff is The Adjutant General of New Jersey. General Cunniff commands more than
9,000 Soldiers and Airmen of the New Jersey Army and Air National Guard. He also directs the New Jersey
Department of Military and Veterans Affairs in the execution of federal and state missions and manages all state
veterans’ programs, commissions and facilities in New Jersey. His previous commands include the 108th Wing, New
Jersey Air National Guard, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey and the 150th Air Expeditionary Air
Refueling Squadron, 405th Air Expeditionary Wing, Thumrait Air Base, Oman. General Cunniff has served in many
operations, including Operations Northern Watch, Joint Forge, Allied Force, Noble Eagle, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi
Freedom. General Cunniff is a Command Pilot with over 6,000 flight hours in several different aircraft, including the
F-4 Phantom II and the KC-135 Stratotanker.

Domestic Operational Law Handbook 2013
Super Storm Sandy specifically provided many lessons for this latest publication. It
challenged each state that suffered her wrath. Government agencies from municipal to federal
levels responded, rendering Super Storm Sandy fertile ground for multiple legal case studies and
lessons learned. Most significantly from a military perspective, New Jersey (and New York)
established a Dual Status Commander (DSC), implementing a construct whereby a National Guard
officer is appointed on Title 10 orders to command active duty and National Guard military forces
supporting a state’s response. This enabled the governor to retain control of his or her state’s
recovery effort while better positioning the state to ask for and receive essential resources from the
Department of Defense and other federal departments and agencies. Super Storm Sandy was the
first use of the DSC in a “no notice” state emergency, and its success proved the concept as an
essential tool within the National Response Framework.
For the judge advocate, Sandy further reinforced the notion that attorneys play a vital role as
part of the command staff during a response. The Super Storm was a complex, multi-echelon,
interagency incident that frequently raised competing or conflicting legal authorities, jurisdictions,
and policies and often required attorney immersion in uncharted legal waters. This Handbook
serves as one of the best tools for deployed attorneys finding themselves in such a situation - it
enables them to quickly familiarize themselves with the basic rules and references involved in what
may otherwise be a very foreign system, and thus ensure the chain of command receives crucial
real-time legal advice demanded during such events. Of course, attorneys will set themselves up for
success by reviewing the concepts in this book in advance of the need to use them.
Judge advocates should not forget that they can and should aid in a variety of areas during a
response. Large incidents require commanders to integrate with local, county, state, and federal
responders. The Handbook offers explanations of agency roles that will greatly assist in this effort.
Commanders often need not just legal advice, but also practical counsel during operations. Lessons
learned incorporated into the Handbook from other responses can aid in this effort as well. Thus,
while the Handbook continues to be a vital tool for applying the law of domestic operations, it also
serves to improve attorneys’ ability to understand all aspects of a domestic response and therefore
advance their capacity to assist and advise in all aspects of a response.

CHAPTER 1
OVERVIEW OF DOMESTIC SUPPORT OPERATIONS
A. Background
Traditionally, the principal task of the U.S. military has been to fight and win the nation’s wars.1 It
has accomplished this goal primarily by projecting military power overseas.2 Since the terrorist
attacks of September 11, 2001, the Department of Defense’s (DoD) highest priority has been the
protection of the United States from direct attack;3 however, terrorism does not represent the only
source of threats to the homeland. The extraordinary destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina in
2005 and Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy in 2012 remind us that threats to the nation do not always
originate from the acts of man.4
Since September 11, 2001, the federal government has taken aggressive and wide ranging steps to
better address both the threat of direct attacks on the United States and the challenges of natural or
manmade disasters. Through the Homeland Security Act of 2002,5 Congress created the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS)—an executive agency that consolidated the functions and
responsibilities of more than a dozen federal agencies and departments, including the U.S. Coast
Guard (USCG), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and the U.S.
Secret Service (USSS), among others.6 As required by law, DHS immediately began an effort to
develop a coordinated system of response by civil authorities at all levels of government. The
National Response Framework (NRF), published in January 2008 and updated in May 2013, is the
result of that effort.7
In 2002, DoD created the first Combatant Command, U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM),
with direct responsibility for the defense, protection and security of the continental United States,
Alaska, and its territorial waters including the Gulf of Mexico and the Straits of Florida. With the

4 Federal analysis indicates that the direct toll in lives and financial costs from natural disasters in recent decades far
outweighs that from terrorist attacks. See Rawle O. King, Financing Recovery from Large-Scale Natural Disasters,

establishment of USNORTHCOM, DoD now has Combatant Commands whose combined
geographic responsibilities cover all States and territories of the United States.8 On September 11,
2003, USNORTHCOM reached full operational capability. USNORTHCOM’s current mission
statement is:
“USNORTHCOM partners to conduct Homeland Defense and Civil Support operations within the
assigned area of responsibility to defend, protect, and secure the United States and its interests.”9
This mission statement recognizes the unique dual roles for USNORTHCOM in Homeland Defense
(HD) and Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA), in addition to standard Geographic
Combatant Commander-assigned responsibilities.10 As discussed below, HD authorities and
capabilities are generally beyond the scope of this handbook; however, understanding how DoD
and its organizations (such as USNORTHCOM) fit in the larger emergency and disaster response
framework allows for better comprehension of DoD’s ability to provide civil support. Because of
USNORTHCOM’s responsibility for operations in the homeland, it is engaged in nearly constant
liaison with our national leadership and with the federal agencies that would lead civil support
operations.
B. Purpose of This Handbook
In February 2013, DoD published a new Strategy for Homeland Defense and Defense Support of
Civil Authorities, updating DoD’s Domestic Support Strategy for the first time since 2005, and
setting out DoD’s vision for transforming homeland defense and support to civil authorities.11
DoD has identified two priority missions for its activities in the homeland for 2012 to 2020: to
defend U.S. territory from direct attack by state and non-state actors, and provide assistance to
domestic civil authorities in the event of natural or manmade disasters.12
This handbook focuses on the latter of the two missions - providing assistance to domestic civil
authorities, also known as Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA). Circumstances involving
the exercise of HD authority and capabilities, i.e. “countering air and maritime attacks and
preventing terrorist attacks on the homeland,”13 are beyond the scope of this handbook.
Nonetheless, it should be kept in mind that actions taken within the HD function may directly
impact DoD’s DSCA mission once an event has occurred. Likewise, for ongoing events or
continuing attacks, DSCA actions may contribute immediately to HD capabilities.
8 The other Combatant Command with responsibility for the United States is U.S. Pacific Command (USPACOM),
with responsibility over Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

C. DoD’s Role in Civil Support
Military civil support operations are neither new nor limited to a single service. The military has
long provided assistance in times of disaster and has routinely provided support to state and
territorial governors, even historically having administered governmental affairs until local
governance was established.14 During the Reconstruction after the Civil War, military forces
assisted with maintaining order.15 In the late Nineteenth Century, the Army played a direct role in
many disaster relief operations including the great Chicago fire, the Johnstown Flood, and the
Charleston, South Carolina earthquake. DoD continues similar support efforts to this day in the
wake of emergencies and disasters.
National Guard (NG) units, under the control of their respective state governor and their “The
Adjutants General” (TAGs),16 have traditionally been the primary military responders in domestic
operations and emergencies. The use of federal forces to support state and local governments was,
and remains, the exception rather than the rule. Federal forces are generally used only after state
resources are exhausted or overwhelmed and federal assistance has been requested by state officials.
DoD has capabilities and resources uniquely suited to support U.S. civil authorities. DoD consists
of trained and disciplined personnel and organizations capable of rapidly responding on short notice
to a broad spectrum of emergencies. Although organized to conduct combat operations, military
personnel and their associated equipment can often be effectively employed in civil support
operations. Consequently, DoD will continue to be called upon to assist civil authorities.17 In these
instances, DoD’s role is one of support - civilian authorities retain primary responsibility for
domestic operations.18 Civilian authorities may request Federal assistance, including DoD
assistance, if they are overwhelmed.19

20 The Presidential Decision Directive (PDD) series was the mechanism used by the Clinton Administration to
promulgate Presidential decisions on national security matters.
21
In the George W. Bush administration, the directives used to promulgate Presidential decisions on national security
matters are designated National Security Presidential Directives (NSPDs) and those on homeland security matters are
designated Homeland Security Presidential Directives (HSPDs). Unless otherwise indicated, past directives of previous
administrations remain in effect until superseded.

Overview of Domestic Support Operations
Domestic Operational Law Handbook 2013
Directives (PPDs),22 Executive Orders (EOs), and DoD regulations provide the framework for, and
set limits on, the use of military forces to assist civil authorities. While the types of domestic
support operations vary widely, two forms of statutory restrictions as well as policy concerns may
limit the scope of support. First, judge advocates must carefully consider whether the Posse
Comitatus Act applies.23 Second, fiscal law constraints,24 as well as policy limitations, apply when
reviewing a proposed domestic support operation.
Acknowledging the value of civil support that DoD can offer, Congress has enacted laws allowing
federal agencies to request support from the military during domestic operations. These laws
emphasize DoD’s supporting role in civil support operations. Further, these laws acknowledge that
the National Guard, while in state status, has primary responsibility for providing initial support to
state and local civil authorities.25
When federal forces respond in a support role, they operate under the direction of a designated lead
federal agency (LFA). Federal laws recognize the importance of interdepartmental and interagency
coordination and planning in this area. For example, the National Response Framework (NRF)26 is
designed to maximize unity of effort when federal agencies work together to respond to domestic
emergencies.
In summary, DoD provides federal military assistance only when civil resources are insufficient,
when requested to do so by appropriate civil authorities, and when properly ordered to do so by
DoD officials. In domestic operations, National Guard units and personnel, in non-federal status
and under the command of their respective Governors, have primary responsibility for providing
military assistance to local governments. Only when state and local government resources are
exhausted or inadequate, and support is requested by the state, will the federal government provide
necessary civil support.
D. Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA)
The primary reference for all DoD support to domestic operations is DoD Directive (DoDD)
3025.18, Defense Support of Civil Authorities.27 DoDD 3025.18 was promulgated with changes on
September 21, 2012. It incorporates and cancels DoDD 3025.1 (Military Support to Civil
Authorities) and DoDD 3025.15 (Military Assistance to Civil Authorities). Notably, DoDD
3025.18 states that DSCA plans shall be compatible with the National Incident Management System
(NIMS) and will consider command and control options that emphasize “unity of effort.”
DoDD 3025.18 provides criteria against which all requests for support must be evaluated. These
criteria are known as the “CARRLL” factors. The criteria are addressed to approval authorities, but
commanders at all levels should be cognizant of these requirements when forwarding a
recommendation for military support through the chain of command.
22 The Presidential Policy Directive (PPD) series is a mechanism that the Obama administration uses to promulgate
Presidential decisions on national security matters.

The criteria are:
Cost - Who pays and the impact on DoD budget.
Appropriateness - Whether it is in the interest of DoD to provide the requested support.
Readiness - Impact on DoD’s ability to perform its primary mission.
Risk - Safety of DoD forces.
Legality - Compliance with the law.
Lethality - Potential use of lethal force by or against DoD forces.
DoDD 3025.18 also outlines the roles and responsibilities of each DoD component and establishes
request procedures and approval authorities for each type of domestic support operation. The
Secretary of Defense has reserved approval authority of DoD support for civil disturbances and for
responses to acts of terrorism. The various types of domestic support authorities are covered in
more detail in specific Directives and Instructions set out in this Handbook’s respective chapters.
E. Handbook Organization
This handbook specifically addresses DoD’s civil support mission and its role in response
operations within the United States. It additionally provides an understanding of the overall federal
government approach to preparing for and responding to domestic emergencies and disasters. In the
majority of domestic emergency and disaster response operations, DHS will serve as the LFA to
which DoD lends its support. Thus, a working knowledge of how DHS addresses emergency and
disaster response is vital to fully appreciate how DoD civil support authorities and policy function
in this area. The handbook therefore begins with a discussion on the role of the DHS and the
National Preparedness System and Incident Management doctrines that permeate all emergency and
disaster responses.
The handbook then examines the roles, responsibilities and authorities of DoD related to specific
domestic support operations including Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN)28
incident management, support to civilian law enforcement, civil disturbance support, counterdrug
operations, and other miscellaneous operations. The handbook concludes with chapters that impact
all domestic operations: intelligence law, rules for the use of force, and fiscal law. Each chapter is
best understood when considered in light of other chapters, but each chapter also stands on its own
and can be used by judge advocates to develop an understanding of the authorities and limitations
that apply to a specific type of domestic support.

policy.

A. The Federal Response Structure
In the 25 years since 1988, when President George H.W. Bush promulgated Executive Order (EO)
12656, the Federal Government has significantly changed its approach to preventing, preparing for,
and responding to major domestic incidents. This chapter addresses the Federal Government’s
current system for domestic all-hazards incident management, including the latest significant
changes to the National Preparedness System promulgated in 2013, as well as the vital role of the
Stafford Act as the primary authority for the use of federal resources to assist State and local
governments during emergencies or disasters.
1. Executive Order 12656: Emergency Preparedness and Response Responsibilities
Executive Order 12656, as amended, assigns national security emergency preparedness
responsibilities to federal departments and agencies, delegating to the Department of Homeland
Security primary responsibility for coordinating the efforts of, among other things, federal
emergency assistance.3
This executive order identifies several departments/agencies (e.g., Defense, Energy, Health and
Human Services) that have active, and potentially overlapping, roles regarding nuclear, biological,
and chemical assessment and response. It also identifies primary and support functions to be
performed during any national security emergency of the United States, development of plans for
performing these functions, and development of the capability to execute those plans. As part of
preparedness, EO 12656 mandates that the heads of federal agencies plan for continuity of
government in the event of a national security emergency and plan for the mobilization of agency
alternative resources. In assigning areas of responsibility for domestic preparedness, EO 12656
provides the foundation for the former Federal Response Plan (FRP), now superseded by the NRF
under the National Preparedness System (NPS).
Executive Order 13228, establishing the Office of Homeland Security4, amended EO 12656 to
account for the responsibilities of the new office within the functional and legal structure of
emergency preparedness. This Executive Order identifies primary and support functions to be
performed during any national security emergency of the United States, directs the development of
plans for performing these functions and development of the capability to execute those plans.
Table 2-1 highlights some of the major areas of responsibility for several of the agencies identified
in EO 12656, as amended by EO 13286.5
3 Exec. Order No. 12656, 3 C.F.R. 585 (1988); see also Exec. Order No. 12148, 3 C.F.R. 412 (1979), which transferred
to FEMA responsibility for coordinating federal response to civil emergencies at the regional and national levels.
4 Exec. Order No. 13228, 66 Fed. Reg. 51812 (Oct. 10, 2001).
5 Exec. Order No. 13286, 68 Fed. Reg. 10619 (Mar. 5, 2003) transferred key functions of FEMA to DHS. Note that
Exec. Order No. 13603, 77 Fed. Reg. 16651 (Mar. 16, 2012) revoked Sections 401(3)-(4) of Exec. Order No. 12656.

departments and agencies into a single department.7 The primary missions of DHS include:
preventing terrorist attacks within the United States, reducing the vulnerability of the United States
to terrorism, and minimizing the damage and assisting in the recovery from terrorist attacks that
occur within the United States.8 DHS is comprised of various directorates and components
including the U.S. Coast Guard, Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Secret Service, the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), the Transportation Security Administration, and the Federal Law
Enforcement Training Center.
FEMA maintains responsibility for “reduc[ing] the loss of life and property and protect[ing] the
Nation from all hazards, including natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other man-made
disasters.”9 Activities pursuant to this responsibility include managing responses; directing the
strategic response assets that were transferred to DHS; overseeing the Metropolitan Medical
Response System; and coordinating other federal response resources in the event of a terrorist attack
or major disaster. The Homeland Security Act also directed the development of a National Incident
Management System to integrate the federal, state, and local government response to terrorist
attacks, and consolidate existing federal government emergency response plans into a single,
coordinated National Response Plan (NRP).10
In sum, the Homeland Security Act served as the foundation for the government to reorganize and
consolidate incident management functions, assets and personnel under a single Department.
Further, it served as the legal impetus for a revised approach to incident management, later set forth
in Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD-5), which is discussed below.
3. HSPD-5
Homeland Security Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD-5), “Management of Domestic Incidents,”
established a new paradigm for federal emergency management.11 It centers on the need for all
levels of government across the nation to have a single, unified approach toward managing
domestic incidents. Pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, HSPD-5 tasked the Secretary
of Homeland Security to develop and administer a National Response Plan (now replaced by the
(NRF)) that would integrate federal government domestic prevention, preparedness, response, and
recovery plans into one all-discipline, all-hazards plan. It also tasked the Secretary of Homeland
Security to develop and administer a National Incident Management System (NIMS) that would
unify federal, state, and local government efforts to prepare for, respond to, and recover from
domestic events regardless of cause, size, or complexity. The intent of the NRF and NIMS is to
provide the structure and mechanisms for establishing national level policy and operational
direction regarding federal support to state and local incident managers.

Chapter 2

Domestic Operational Law Handbook 2013
HSPD-5 also reaffirmed the Secretary of Homeland Security’s responsibility as the principal federal
official (PFO) for domestic incident management. HSPD-5 tasked the Secretary of Homeland
Security with coordinating the federal government’s resources in response to, or recovery from,
terrorist attacks, major disasters, or other emergencies. This coordination responsibility exists when
any one of the following four conditions applies: (1) a federal department or agency acting under its
own authority has requested the assistance of the Secretary; (2) the resources of state and local
authorities are overwhelmed and federal assistance has been requested by the appropriate state and
local authorities; (3) more than one federal department or agency has become substantially involved
in responding to the incident; or (4) the Secretary has been directed by the President to assume
responsibility for managing the domestic incident.12 Table 2-2 summarizes the roles and
responsibilities established by HSPD-5.
HSPD-5 also eliminates the previous distinction, established in Presidential Decision Directive 39,
between crisis management and consequence management, treating the two “as a single, integrated
function, rather than as two separate functions.”13 Whereas under the old FRP the Attorney General
was the overall lead federal official for the government’s response until the crisis management
phase of a response was over; now, under the NRF, the Secretary of Homeland Security remains the
lead federal official for the duration of the period involving federal assistance. Despite the fact that
HSPD-5 erased the distinction between crisis management and consequence management, it
reaffirms the Attorney General’s authority as the lead official for conducting criminal investigation
of terrorist acts or terrorist threats.14

4. Presidential Policy Directive 8 (PPD-8)
On March 30, 2011, President Obama issued PPD-8 to update and replace HSPD-8 and HSPD-8,
Annex I, National Planning, which was originally issued in 2007, to “further enhance the
preparedness of the United States by formally establishing a standard and comprehensive approach
to national planning.”15 PPD-8 complements HSPD-5—which remains in effect. The goal of PPD­
8 is:
“strengthening the security and resilience of the United States through systematic
preparation for the threats that pose the greatest risk to the security of the Nation,
including acts of terrorism, cyber attacks, pandemics, and catastrophic natural
disasters. Our national preparedness is the shared responsibility of all levels of
government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and individual citizens.16
PPD-8 specifies that the Secretary of Homeland Security is responsible for developing the National
Preparedness Goal (discussed below) and coordinating the domestic all-hazards preparedness
efforts of all executive departments and agencies, in consultation with State, local, tribal, and
territorial governments, nongovernmental organizations, private-sector partners, and the general
public. The directive further states that the heads of all executive departments and agencies with
roles in prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and recovery are responsible for national
preparedness efforts, including department-specific operational plans, as needed, consistent with
their statutory roles and responsibilities. PPD-8 also specifies that nothing in the directive shall
limit the authority of the Secretary of Defense with regard to the command and control, planning,
organization, equipment, training, exercises, employment, or other activities of DoD forces, or the
allocation of DoD resources.17
HSPD-8, Annex I required the development of National Planning Scenarios.18 Consequently, the
Homeland Security Council developed fifteen scenarios depicting “a diverse set of high-
consequence threat scenarios of both potential terrorist attacks and natural disasters.”19
USNORTHCOM subsequently developed CONPLANs that address each of the scenarios where
DoD support is necessary. These CONPLANs can be accessed with permission of
USNORTHCOM.20 These and other individual plans developed under HSPD-8 and Annex I
remain in effect until rescinded or otherwise replaced.
5. PPD-8 and the National Preparedness System (NPS)
PPD-8 specifically directed the development of a National Preparedness Goal (NPG) that identifies
core capabilities necessary for preparedness, and the development of a National Preparedness

System (NPS) to guide activities that will enable the Nation to achieve the NPG.21 PPD-8 states
that NPS shall include guidance for planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercises to
build and maintain domestic capabilities, and shall provide a whole nation approach for building
and sustaining a cycle of preparedness activities over time. PPD-8 stated that the NPS shall include
five integrated National Planning Frameworks covering the mission areas of Prevention, Protection,
Mitigation, Response, and Recovery. These frameworks set the strategy and doctrine for delivering
the 31 core capabilities identified in the NPG document that apply to these five mission areas.22 It
directed the frameworks shall be built upon scalable, flexible, and adaptable coordinating structures
to align key roles and responsibilities to deliver the necessary capabilities. To date, all but the
Protection framework have been promulgated.23
6. National Response Framework (NRF) History and Organization
The NRF predates the current NPS five-framework system. On March 22, 2008, the first NRF
became effective and superseded the National Response Plan. It established a comprehensive,
national, all-hazards approach to domestic incident management across a spectrum of activities.
The NRF was updated in 2013 implement the new requirements and terminology of PPD-8, but
reiterates the concepts utilized in the 2008 version.24
The NRF organizes governmental response to natural and manmade disasters and incidents
occurring in the United States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories and possessions. It
builds upon and complements the National Incident Management System (NIMS),25 and is designed
to be used by the whole community, since engaging the whole community is essential for the
Nation’s success in maintaining resilience and preparedness. The NRF is always in effect, and
portions of it can be implemented at any time. Selective implementation of NRF structures allows
for a scaled response and an appropriate level of coordination for each incident.26
The NRF is made up of the base document, Emergency Support Functions (ESFs), Support
Annexes, and Incident Annexes.
21
Id. The National Preparedness Goal (NPG) is summarized as “A secure and resilient Nation with the capabilities
required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and
hazards that pose the greatest risk.” The NPG document identifies several core capabilities necessary to achieving the
goal. The core capabilities are grouped into the five mission areas of prevention, protection, mitigation, response, and
recovery. DHS, NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS GOAL (Sept. 2011), available at http://www.fema.gov/national­

structure and mechanisms for national-level policy and operational coordination for domestic incident management.
NIMS does not alter or impede the ability of federal, state, local, or tribal departments and agencies to carry out their
specific authorities. NIMS assumes that incidents are typically managed at the lowest possible jurisdictional and
organizational levels, and in the smallest geographical areas feasible. There is further discussion on NIMS below.

Emergency Support Function (ESF). The ESFs are Federal coordinating structures that group
resources and capabilities into functional areas that are most frequently needed in a national
response.28 There are fourteen ESFs in the NRF (see Table 2-3).
Support Annexes. The Support Annexes describe how Federal, local, state, tribal, territorial,
insular area, private sector, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) coordinate and execute
common processes and requirements necessary to ensuring effective incident management.29 The
support annex topics are: critical infrastructure and key resources, financial management,
international coordination, private-sector coordination, public affairs, tribal relations, volunteer and
donations management, and worker safety and health.30
Incident Annexes. The incident annexes describe the unique response aspects of incident
categories. They describe specialized response teams and resources, incident specific
responsibilities, and other considerations specific to a particular scenario. The address the
following events: Biological Incident, Catastrophic Incident, Cyber Incident, Food and Agriculture

b. Response Mission Area Core Capabilities
Of the 31 core capabilities determined necessary to achieve the NPG, the response mission area
includes 14 core capabilities (11 that are specific to response, and three that are common to all
mission areas). The 14 response core capabilities are: Planning, Public Information and Warning,
Operational Coordination, Critical Transportation, Environmental Response/Health and Safety,
Fatality Management Services, Infrastructure Systems, Care Services, Mass Search and Rescue
Operations, On-Scene Security and Protection, Operational Communications, Public and Private
Services and Resources, Public Health and Medical Services, and Situational Assessment. The
NRF summarizes each core capability and the critical tasks needed to achieve their objectives.32
c. NRF Coordinating Structures and Integration
Coordinating structures are used to aid preparedness and response at all governmental levels and
among the private sector, communities, and non-governmental entities. The structures help
organize and measure response community capabilities, establish and improve relationships, and
foster coordination prior to and following an incident. Examples of local coordinating structures
include local emergency planning committees (LEPCs) and community emergency response teams
(CERTs). State coordinating structures leverage capabilities and resources across the state.
Examples include state emergency response commissions (SERCs), which manage state LEPCs,
and state Disaster Planning Advisory Committees. Private sector coordinating structures include
NGOs and industry trade groups, such as the American Pilots’ Association (a national association of
maritime pilots of commercial vessels). These entities often serve as a conduit to government
coordinating structures.33
(1) Federal Coordinating Structures
The National Security Council (NSC)
The NSC is the principal policy body for national security policy issues requiring Presidential
determination, and it advises and assists the President in integrating all aspects of national security
policy as it affects the United States. Along with its subordinate committees, the NSC is the
President’s primary method for coordinating Executive Branch departments and agencies in the
development and implementation of national security policy.34
Emergency Support Functions (ESFs)
Federal and state governments organize their response resources and capabilities under the ESF
construct. ESFs are groups of organizations that work together to support a response. The Federal
ESFs are the primary (but not exclusive) Federal coordinating structures for building, sustaining,

ESF coordinators oversee the preparedness activities for a particular ESF. Specific responsibilities
include maintaining contact with ESF primary and support agencies through meetings and other
interactions, ensuring the ESF is engaged in appropriate planning and preparedness activities, and
coordinating efforts with corresponding NGOs, private entities, and local, state, and Federal
partners.36
ESFs also have primary and support agencies. Primary agencies have numerous ESF
responsibilities including (but not limited to) orchestrating support within their functional areas for
the appropriate response core capabilities, obtaining assistance from support agencies, managing
Stafford Act mission assignments and coordinating resources needed for mission assignments,
planning for incident management, maintaining trained personnel to support interagency response
teams, and coordinating resources resulting from mission assignments. Support agency
responsibilities include (but are not limited to) providing input to periodic readiness assessments,

participating in planning for incident management, and coordinating resources needed for mission
assignments.37
ESF activation can be selectively accomplished by FEMA or as directed by the Secretary of
Homeland Security to support response activities for both Stafford Act and non-Stafford Act events.
Note, however, that not all incidents needing federal support require ESF activation. When
departments or agencies are activated as part of ESF activation, they may assign resources at the
headquarters, regional, or incident level. Through the Stafford Act and in accordance with 6 U.S.C.
§ 741(4) and § 753(c), FEMA may issue mission assignments at all levels and across the ESFs to
obtain resources from Federal entities.
Mission assignments represent the practical and operational application of ESFs, through the FEMA
organizational structure, to executive branch departments and agencies. A mission assignment is by
definition a “Work order issued to a Federal agency by the Regional Administrator, Assistant
Administrator for the Disaster Operations Directorate, or Administrator, directing completion by
that agency of a specified task and citing funding, other managerial controls, and guidance.”38
FEMA uses mission assignments to task other federal departments and agencies to provide direct
assistance during emergencies and disasters. Mission assignments are used to reimburse Federal
entities as well. The mission assignment process has been expanded to include Pre-Scripted
Mission Assignments (PSMAs), which are prepared in advance to facilitate a more rapid response
and standardize the process of developing mission assignments.39 Mission assignments can be
issued from three FEMA-managed entities: Joint Field Offices (JFOs), Regional Response
Coordination Centers (RRCCs), and the National Response Coordination Center (NRCC).40
(2) Federal Response Operational Coordinating Structures and Personnel
The following are several of the key NRF operational coordinating structures and personnel used to
manage emergencies and disasters. Several of these terms are derived from NIMS, which is
discussed further below.
Local/State Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
The location at which an effected municipal or state government coordinates the information and
resources necessary to support the local or state incident management activities.41

National Framework for Incident Management
Domestic Operational Law Handbook 2013
Incident Command Post (ICP)
The field location at which the primary tactical-level, scene incident command functions are
performed. The ICP may be co-located with the incident base or other incident facilities.42 The
Incident Commander or Unified Command (in the event of a multi-agency or multi jurisdictional
response) is located at the ICP.
Area Command (Unified Area Command)
An organization established to oversee the management of multiple incidents that are being handled
by separate ICPs, or to oversee the management of a complex incident dispersed over a large area,
and to broker critical resources. The Area Command does not have operational responsibility; that
authority resides with the Incident Commander. The Area Command can become a Unified Area
Command when incidents are multi-jurisdictional or involve multiple agencies.43
National Operations Center (NOC)
In the event of a disaster or emergency, the NOC acts as the principal operations center for DHS,
coordinating and integrating information from NOC components to provide situational awareness
for the government. Additionally, the NOC serves as the national fusion center, collecting
information on threats and hazards across the entire integrated national preparedness system.44
National Response Coordination Center (NRCC)
The NRCC is a multiagency coordination center located at FEMA headquarters. When activated,
its staff coordinates overall Federal support for major disasters and emergencies. FEMA maintains
the NRCC as a component of the NOC for incident support operations.45
National Infrastructure Coordinating Center (NICC)
The NICC monitors the Nation’s critical infrastructure and key resources on an ongoing basis.
During an incident, the NICC provides a coordinating forum to share information across
infrastructure and key resource sectors. It is both an operational component of the DHS National
Protection and Programs Directorate and a watch operations element of the NOC.46
Strategic Information and Operations Center (SIOC)
The SIOC is the FBI’s worldwide EOC. It maintains situational awareness over threats and
provides FBI headquarters, field offices, and overseas legal attaches with timely notification of
strategic information. It shares information with EOCs at all other levels of government. It

provides command, control, and communications connectivity and a common operating picture for
managing FBI responses worldwide. In the event of an incident, the SIOC establishes the
headquarters command post and develops connectivity to field command posts and Joint Operations
Centers (discussed further below). 47
Joint Field Office (JFO)
The JFO is the primary Federal incident management field structure. It is a temporary facility
established locally to coordinate Federal, state, tribal, and local governments, as well as private
sector and nongovernmental organizations, with primary responsibility for response and recovery.
The JFO is organized and managed in a manner consistent with NIMS principles. The JFO uses
Incident Command System (ICS) structure but does not manage on-scene operations. Rather, it
provides support to on-scene efforts and conducts broader support operations that extend beyond the
indecent site.48
Unified Coordination Group (UCG)
This group is comprised of senior leaders from Federal and state interests, and in certain
circumstances tribal governments, local jurisdictions, and the private sector. UCG members must
have significant jurisdictional authority and responsibility over the response at issue. The
composition will vary depending on the type and scope of incident. The UCG focuses on the JFO
mission - not on managing on-scene operations, but providing support to those operations. When
incidents affect multiple jurisdictions or the entire nation, multiple JFOs and UCGs may be
established.49
Unified Coordination Staff (UCS)
The UCS is led by the UCG. Personnel from state and Federal departments and agencies and other
entities (including the private sector and non-governmental organizations) make up the UCS and
may be assigned to work at various facilities (the JFO, staging areas, field offices, etc.).50
Joint Operations Center (JOC)
The JOC is the focal point for all investigative law enforcement activities during a terrorist or other
significant criminal incident. The JOC is managed by the FBI Special Agent in Charge (SAC) (also
known as the SFLEO in an incident, as described below). It becomes a component of the JFO when
the JFO is established.51

Regional Response Coordination Center (RRCC)
FEMA maintains an RRCC in each of its 10 regional offices (the regional offices coincide with the
10 FEMA Regions). When activated, RRCC’s are multi-agency coordination centers staffed in
anticipation of or response to an incident. They operate under the direction of the FEMA Regional
Administrator. The RRCC staff coordinates response efforts and maintains connectivity with
FEMA headquarters, state EOCs, and other federal and state coordination centers. The UCG will
assume responsibility for coordinating Federal response activities at the incident level once
established, freeing the RRCC to address other incidents.52
Principal Federal Official (PFO)
By law and by Presidential directive, the Secretary of Homeland Security is the PFO for
coordination of all domestic incidents requiring multiagency federal response. The Secretary may
elect to designate a single field representative to serve as his or her primary representative to ensure
consistency of federal support and the overall effectiveness of the federal incident management.53
Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO)
The FCO is a senior FEMA official who manages and coordinates federal resource support
activities related to Stafford Act disasters and emergencies.54 The President appoints an FCO after
a recommendation by the FEMA Administrator and the Secretary of Homeland Security. The
FCO executes Stafford Act authorities, including committing FEMA resources and giving
mission assignments to other Federal departments and agencies. The role of the FCO in a Stafford
Act response is discussed further below.
Senior Federal Law Enforcement Official (SFLEO)
The SFLEO is the senior law enforcement official from the agency with primary jurisdictional
responsibility as directed by statute, Presidential directive, existing federal policies, and/or the
Attorney General. The SFLEO directs the intelligence and investigative law enforcement
operations related to the incident and supports the law enforcement component of the on-scene
Unified Command. In the event of a terrorist incident, this official will normally be the FBI
Senior Agent-in-Charge (SAC).55
52 NRF, supra note 24 at 42.
53 Congress limited the Secretary of Homeland Security’s ability to designate a “field representative” during a Stafford
Act declared disaster or emergency by barring such an appointment absent a specific waiver. The Secretary of
Homeland Security may designate a person to operate in the field that is not titled “Principal Federal Official” and the
position must report through the Federal Coordinating Officer. The Secretary of Homeland Security must notify
Congress if she/he appoints someone to function as such a field representative. 2010 DHS Appropriations Act, § 522.

Federal Resource Coordinator (FRC)
The FRC manages federal resource support activities related to non-Stafford Act incidents when
federal-to-federal support is requested from DHS by another federal agency. The FRC is
responsible for coordinating the timely delivery of resources to the requesting agency. Requesting
agencies will appoint a senior official to work in coordination with the FRC as part of the UCG.56
Governor’s Authorized Representative (GAR)
The GAR, who is in most cases also the State Coordinating Officer (SCO) under a Stafford Act
response, represents the governor of the state. The GAR/SCO is most often a senior leader in the
state’s emergency response organization, and is a member of the UCG.57
Defense Coordinating Officer (DCO)
Appointed by DoD, the DCO serves as DoD’s single point of contact at the JFO for the UCG.
With few exceptions, DSCA requests originating at the JFO will be coordinated with and processed
through the DCO. The DCO may have a Defense Coordinating Element (DCE) consisting of a staff
and military liaison officers in order to facilitate coordination and support to activated Emergency
Support Functions (ESFs). Specific responsibilities of the DCO (subject to modification based on
the situation) include processing requirements for military support, forwarding mission assignments
to the appropriate military organizations through DoD-designated channels, and assigning military
liaisons, as appropriate, to activated ESFs. Currently, DoD has assigned DCOs at each of the ten
Department of Homeland Security/FEMA regions. (See Figure 2-1 below).

National Framework for Incident Management
Domestic Operational Law Handbook 2013
Joint Task Force (JTF) Commander
Based on the size and type an incident a combatant commander may utilize a Joint Task Force (JTF) to
command Federal (Title 10) forces responding to the event. If a JTF is established, its command and
control element will be co-located with the PFO at the JFO to ensure coordination and unity of effort. A
JTF commander exercises operational control of all allocated DoD resources (excluding USACE
resources, National Guard forces in State Active Duty or Title 32 status, and, in some circumstances,
DoD forces in support of the FBI). The use of the JTF command and control element does not replace
the requirement for a DCO/DCE at the JFO interfaced with the UCG - requests for assistance from DoD
must still be coordinated via the DCO. Rather, the JTF command element will work with UCG
members to ensure that there is a clear understanding of the roles of military resources involved in the
operation.59
Dual Status Commander
A Dual Status Commander serves in both a Title 10 and Title 32 capacity, and can therefore serve to
better unify the Federal and National Guard forces involved in the response. The National Defense
Authorization Act for 201260 stated that when Federal forces and the National Guard are employed
simultaneously in support of civil authorities, appointment of a Dual Status Commander should be
the usual command and control arrangement.61 This includes Stafford Act disaster and emergency
response missions. The use of Dual Status Commanders is becoming more common for incident
response, and they have been used for planned and special events since 2004. Dual Status
Commanders receive orders from both the state and Federal chains of command, and thus serve as a
vital link between the two sides. They can be appointed in one of two ways: an active duty Army
or Air Force officer may be detailed to the Army National Guard or Air National Guard
respectively; or, an Army or Air National Guard member may be ordered to active duty. The
Secretary of Defense must authorize the dual status, and the state Governor must consent to the
status.62
7. National Prevention Framework (NPF)
The NPF provides guidance to leaders and practitioners at all levels of government, private- and
non-profit sector partners, and individuals, on how to prevent or stop a threatened or actual act of
terrorism.63 It helps achieve the National Preparedness Goal of a secure and resilient Nation that is
optimally prepared to prevent an imminent terrorist attack within the United States by:

Governor of any State to direct, control, and prescribe command and control arrangements for forces under their
command.” Id.

Describing the core capabilities needed to prevent an imminent act of terrorism
Aligning key roles and responsibilities to deliver Prevention capabilities in time-sensitive
situations
Describing coordinating structures that enable all stakeholders to work together
Laying the foundation for further operational coordination and planning that will synchronize
Prevention efforts within the whole community and across the Protection, Mitigation, Response,
and Recovery mission areas.
As mentioned above, core capabilities were developed and published in conjunction with the
National Preparedness Goal (NPG). The seven Prevention core capabilities are: Planning; Public
Information and Warning; Operational Coordination; Forensics and Attribution; Intelligence and
Information Sharing; Interdiction and Disruption; and Screening, Search, and Detection.
As with other frameworks, there are multiple coordinating structures for Prevention (some are
shared with the other mission areas). Departments or agencies, as well as private and nonprofit
entities, with unique missions in Prevention, bring additional capabilities to bear through these
structures. Coordinating structures can function on multiple levels, to include national-level
coordinating structures such as the DHS National Operations Center (NOC), the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) Strategic Information and Operations Center (SIOC), the Office of the Director
of National Intelligence (ODNI) National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), the DoD National
Military Command Center (NMCC), the FBI National Joint Terrorism Task Force (NJTTF), and
others. Field coordinating structures, such as the FBI JTTFs and Field Intelligence Groups (FIGs),
state and major urban area fusion centers, state and local counterterrorism and intelligence units,
and others, also play a critical role as coordinating structures in preventing imminent acts of
terrorism.64
8. National Mitigation Framework (NMF)
The NMF establishes a common forum for coordinating and addressing how the Nation manages
risk through mitigation capabilities.65 It describes mitigation roles for government, NGOs, and
private entities and addresses how the Nation will develop, employ, and coordinate mitigation core
capabilities to reduce loss of life and property due to disasters. Building on a wealth of evidence-
based knowledge and community experience, the Framework seeks to increase risk awareness and
leverage mitigation products, services, and assets across the whole community.
The NMF is designed to advance operational planning throughout the whole preparedness community
by offering a comprehensive approach to reducing the impact of disasters through the development,
implementation, and coordination of seven mitigation core capabilities.
64 DHS, OVERVIEW OF THE NATIONAL PLANNING FRAMEWORKS 3 (May 2013), available at FEMA.gov.
65 Under PPD-8, mitigation capabilities “include, but are not limited to, community-wide risk reduction projects; efforts
to improve the resilience of critical infrastructure and key resource lifelines; risk reduction for specific vulnerabilities
from natural hazards or acts of terrorism; and initiatives to reduce future risks after a disaster has occurred.” See PPD-8,
supra note 16.
Chapter 2
23
National Framework for Incident Management
Domestic Operational Law Handbook 2013
The NMF seven core capabilities are: Planning; Public Information and Warning; Operational
Coordination; Community Resilience; Long-term Vulnerability Reduction; Risk and Disaster
Resilience Assessment; and Threats and Hazard Identification.66
As with the NRF and other mission area frameworks, the mitigation mission area and NRF refer to
the multiple levels of coordinating structures already discussed. Numerous existing coordinating
structures already support the mitigation mission area, such as the NSC.67 Of note, a new
coordinating structure known as the Mitigation Framework Leadership Group (MitFLG) is being
established to coordinate mitigation efforts across the Federal Government and to assess the
effectiveness of mitigation capabilities as they are developed and deployed across the Nation. The
MitFLG will include relevant local, state, tribal, and Federal organizations. It will be chaired by
FEMA in consultation with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) leadership. Consistent with
PPD 1 (Organization of the National Security Council System) the MitFLG will coordinate with the
relevant National Security Council Interagency Policy Committees.68
9. National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF)
The NDRF was published in September 2011 as a guide to promote effective recovery from
incidents. It provides guidance that enables effective recovery support to disaster-impacted states,
tribes, and local jurisdictions. It provides a flexible structure that enables disaster recovery
managers to operate in a unified manner. It also focuses on how best to restore, redevelop, and
revitalize the health, social, economic, natural, and environmental fabric of the community after an
incident.
The NDRF defines:
Core recovery principles
Roles and responsibilities of recovery coordinators and other stakeholders
A coordinating structure that facilitates communication and collaboration among all
stakeholders
Guidance for pre- and post-disaster recovery planning
The overall process by which communities can capitalize on opportunities to rebuild
stronger, smarter, and safer.
As with the other frameworks, the NDRF discusses the development and implementation of core
capabilities. The eight core capabilities69 for the NDRF are:

The NDRF introduces four new concepts and terms: Federal Disaster Recovery Coordinator
(FDRC), State or Tribal Disaster Recovery Coordinators (SDRCs or TDRCs), Local Disaster
Recovery Managers (LDRMs), and Recovery Support Functions (RSFs). The six new RSFs
provide a structure to facilitate problem solving, improve access to resources, and foster
coordination. The RSFs are similar in concept to ESFs - each RSF has coordinating and primary
Federal agencies and supporting organizations that operate together with local, State and Tribal
government officials, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and private sector partners. As with
the ESFs, RSFs can be selectively activated as needed.70 The FRDC, SRDC/TDRC, and LDRM are
three new positions that provide focal points for incorporating recovery considerations into the
decision making process and monitoring the need for adjustments in assistance where necessary and
feasible throughout the recovery process.71
10. National Incident Management System (NIMS)
HSPD-5 directed the development and administration of NIMS. It was first published in 2004, to
provide a consistent nationwide template to enable Federal, state, tribal, and local governments as
well as nongovernmental organizations and private entities to work together to prevent, protect
against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of incidents. Since it was first published,
NIMS has subsequently been revised to reflect input from a broad variety of stakeholders. In
addition, lessons learned from recent incidents were considered in the latest version. It is important
to note NIMS is not an operational management plan; instead, it is a core set of doctrines, concepts,
terminology, and organizational processes intended to enable efficient and collaborative
management of incidents.72
As with the Stafford Act, NIMS is based on the premise that most incidents begin and end locally
and are managed on a daily basis at the lowest possible geographical, organizational, and
jurisdictional level.73
NIMS is comprised of five key components:
Preparedness. NIMS focuses on the following elements of preparedness: planning; procedures
and protocols; training and exercises; personnel qualifications and certification; and, equipment
certification.74 NIMS also stresses a unified approach to management and response activities, and

Chapter 2
25
National Framework for Incident Management
Domestic Operational Law Handbook 2013
that all levels of governments and organizations must identify their capabilities before incidents
occur.
Communication and Information Management. NIMS emphasizes that well-planned,
established, and utilized communications are critical for enabling the dissemination of information
during an incident.75 Common plans, standards and communication architecture help to facilitate
interoperability and maintain a constant flow of information during an incident.76 As with incident
response in general, communication systems should be flexible and scalable to effectively manage
any situation.
Resource Management. According to NIMS, resource management is divided into five
principles:77
¾ Planning
¾ Use of agreements
¾ Categorizing resources
¾ Resource identification and ordering
¾ Effective management of resources
Command and Management. NIMS incorporates the existing Incident Command System
(ICS) and Multi-Agency Coordination Systems (MACS) as the command structure for response to
all hazards at all levels of government.78 The ICS works at the tactical level, organizing the on-
scene operations.79 In comparison, MACS coordinate activities above the field level and can be
either informal or formal. Formal coordination addresses issues before an incident occurs and is the
preferred process.80
Ongoing Management and Maintenance. HPSD-5 authorized the Secretary of Homeland
Security to establish a mechanism to ensure the ongoing management and maintenance of NIMS.
The National Integration Center (NIC) was established to assist government and private sectors in
implementing NIMS and to provide for its refinement.81 As part of this process, NIMS notes the
continued development of science and technology as playing a critical role in improving response
capabilities.
11. Other Significant Response Plans, Authorities, and Policies Related to the National
Preparedness Framework
When DHS initiates the response mechanisms of the NRF, including the ESFs, Support Annexes,
and Incident Annexes, existing interagency plans that address incident management are
incorporated as supporting plans and/or operational supplements to the NRF. For incidents not led
