The NRP provides one way of doing business for both Stafford Act and non-Stafford Act incidents

Major disasters, emergencies, and terrorist incidents including threats

Other events requiring Department of Homeland Security (DHS) assistance

Defining a Catastrophic Incident A catastrophic incident is any natural or manmade incident,

including terrorism, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the population, infrastructure, environment, economy, national morale, and/or government functions.

18

Defining a Catastrophic Incident

A catastrophic incident:

Could result in sustained national impacts over a prolonged time period

Almost immediately exceeds resources normally available to State, local, tribal, and private-sector authorities in the impacted area

Significantly interrupts governmental operations and emergency services to such an extent that national security could be threatened.

19

What is the Catastrophic Annex?

The NRP Catastrophic Incident Annex establishes a context and overarching strategy for implementing and coordinating an accelerated, pro-active national response to a catastrophic incident.

The Annex was published in December 2004 as part of the National Response Plan.

20

What is the Catastrophic Supplement?

The NRP Catastrophic Incident Supplement provides the operational framework for implementing the strategy contained in the NRP Catastrophic Incident Annex.

The Supplement is organized around a basic plan, 2 operational annexes, and 14 reference appendices.

The Supplement was published in late September 2005. The document is marked “For Official Use Only.”

21

Organization of the Supplement

Operational Annexes

• Execution Schedule• Transportation Schedule

Basic Plan• Purpose, Design, Overview• Concept of Operations, Federal Execution Strategy• Catastrophic Response Inhibitors

Reference Appendices

• Basic Planning Assumptions • Inventory of Federal Response Teams • Mass Care • Search & Rescue • Decontamination • Public Health & Medical Support • Medical Equipment & Supplies • Patient Movement • Mass Fatalities • Housing • Public Information, Incident Comms. • Private Sector Support • Acronyms, Abbreviations & Terms • NDMS Federal Partners MOA

22

When Does It Apply?The NRP Catastrophic Incident Supplement applies to –

No-notice or short-notice incident of catastrophic magnitude

When need for Federal assistance is obvious and immediate

Anticipatory planning, resource pre-positioning are precluded

The Supplement & Execution Schedule do not apply to –

Incidents that evolve or mature into catastrophic incidents

For evolving events, response strategy is applied via standard NRP procedures, as guided by the appropriate Incident Annex (e.g., Biological Incident Annex).

23

Activation

The DHS Secretary designates event an Incident of National Significance.

Only the DHS Secretary or designee may initiate implementation of the Catastrophic Incident Annex.

Homeland Security Operations Center (HSOC) notifies Federal departments and agencies that the Catastrophic Incident Annex has been implemented.

Notification and full coordination with States occur, but the coordination process should not delay or impede the rapid mobilization and deployment of critical Federal resources.

24

DHS as Coordinating AgencyUpon activation of the Annex, DHS will –

Activate and deploy (or prepare to deploy) DHS-managed teams, equipment caches, and other resources in accordance with the Supplement.

Identify, prepare, and operationalize facilities critical to supporting the movement and reception of deploying Federal resources.

Activate national-level facilities and capabilities.

Make every attempt to establish contact with impacted States to coordinate employment of federal resources in support of the State.

26

Cooperating Agencies

Activate and deploy (or prepare to deploy) agency- or ESF-managed teams, equipment caches, and other resources in accordance with the Supplement.

Commence ESF responsibilities as appropriate.

Commence assessments of the probable consequences of the incident & projected resource requirements.

Commence development of shorter and longer-term response and recovery strategies.

When notified by the HSOC that the DHS Secretary has implemented the Annex, federal departments and agencies and the American Red Cross will –

27

Mobilization and Deployment Upon designation by the DHS Secretary of a catastrophic

incident, Federal resources – organized into incident-specific “packages” – deploy in accordance with the NRP Catastrophic Incident Supplement and in coordination with the affected State and incident command structure.

Unless it can be credibly established that a pre-identified Federal resource in the Supplement is not needed at the catastrophic incident venue, that resource deploys.

28

Mobilization and Deployment

Resources are deployed by the sponsoring Federal agency and transported according to an Execution Schedule managed by the Department of Transportation.

Deployment timing for mobilized resources will depend on the availability of air/ground transportation and the availability of adequate reception capabilities at the destination.

Federal resources arriving at a federal mobilization center or staging area remain there until requested by State/local incident command authorities, when they are integrated into the incident response effort.

29

Mobilization and Deployment

All “pushed” Federal assets and resources will be 100% Federally funded through initial deployment to the Federal mobilization center or staging area.

However, in accordance with the Stafford Act, State requests for use of deployed Federal assets may require cost-sharing.

Resource Flow1. DHS Secretary designates incident,

notifies HSOC.

2. HSOC notifies NRCC and federal EOCs of Annex / Supplement implementation and I-Hour.

3. NRCC activates Movement Coordination Branch.

4. NRCC designates Federal mobilization center and dispatches management team.

5. NRCC and Federal EOCs direct Federal storage sites & logistics centers to implement Execution Schedule.

6. Sites / Centers deploy resources to Federal mobilization center, unless otherwise directed by the NRCC.

7. Commodities are sent from Mob Center to Federal staging areas, State staging areas, local Receiving & Distribution Centers, as directed by the RRCC.

8. Resources are sent from the Mob Center and staging areas into the incident area in support of state/local incident command authorities.

31

Expected Areas of Assistance

Mass care, housing, and human services (ESF 6)

Urban search & rescue (ESF 9)

Decontamination (ESFs 8, 10)

Public health & medical support (ESF 8)

Medical equipment & supplies (ESF 8)

Casualty and fatality management & transportation (ESF 8)

Public Information (ESF 15)

32

Transportation Schedule

Transportation response will be managed in 2 broad categories:

Immediate Push Items – Pre-identified resources dispatched automatically within first 48 hours of incident, without any request from State or local authorities.

Midterm Pull Items – Assets dispatched within the first 10 days that are likely to be needed at the incident site, but will not be transported until requested by an appropriate authority at the FEMA Region, JFO, or FEMA Headquarters.

DOT will activate a 24/7 Emergency Transportation Center to coordinate the movement of supplies and resources via air, sea, and land transport.

33

Execution Schedule Action reflects the time the action is initiated, not completed.

Bold actions = resources that will deploy to or activate within/near the incident area.

“Initiate deployment actions” = mobilize resources for immediate pickup at the designated air/ground departure point.

For Responsible Agency: The term “ALL” refers to all Federal departments and agencies to which the action applies.

Action Identifier “M” = multiple but specific agencies are responsible.

Action Identification numbers are provided for quick reference.
