National Response Framework
open-in-new
<p>The <a href="/facts/United_States/P0sCdLe5">United States</a> National Response Framework (NRF) is part of the <a href="/facts/National_Strategy_for_Homeland_Security/zSh0ollM">National Strategy for Homeland Security</a> that presents the guiding principles enabling all levels of domestic response partners to prepare for and provide a unified national response to disasters and emergencies. Building on the existing <a href="/facts/National_Incident_Management_System/mePBd9l6">National Incident Management System</a> (NIMS) as well as <a href="/facts/Incident_Command_System/UBzgNhTL">Incident Command System</a> (ICS) standardization, the NRF's coordinating structures are always in effect for implementation at any level and at any time for local, state, and national emergency or disaster response. </p>
