What does the National Response Framework (NRF) provide?

The National Response Framework (NRF) provides comprehensive guidance for responding to all types of disasters, ensuring a coordinated and effective approach to emergency management. The NRF aims to outline the guiding principles for all stakeholders involved in disaster response, including federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial jurisdictions, as well as private sector partners and non-governmental organizations.

This framework emphasizes the importance of collaboration and resilience in emergency management, articulating roles and responsibilities, fostering community engagement, and ensuring that communities are prepared for both natural and man-made hazards. By encompassing the diverse challenges posed by various types of incidents, the NRF serves as an essential resource for organizing and effectively executing emergency response efforts across the nation.
