This course is intended for government executives, private-sector and nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders, and emergency management practitioners. This includes senior elected and appointed leaders, such as Federal department or agency heads, State Governors, mayors, tribal leaders, and city or county officials – those who have a responsibility to provide for effective response.
Topics covered include: Roles and responsibilities; response actions; response organization planning; extensive glossary; Emergency Support Functions (ESF); local, state, tribal governments.
The Framework provides structures for implementing nationwide response policy and operational coordination for all types of domestic incidents. It can be partially or fully implemented in the context of a threat, in anticipation of a significant event, or in response to an incident. Selective implementation allows for a scaled response, delivery of the resources needed, and an appropriate level of coordination. The Framework is always in effect, and elements can be implemented as needed on a flexible, scalable basis that can help improve response.
