Concept of OperationsConcept of Operations
� Single national framework for various Federal roles:� Direct implementation of Federal authorities� Federal to State support� Federal to Federal support� Pro-active response to catastrophic incidents
�� Incidents handled at lowest possible organizational levelIncidents handled at lowest possible organizational level� DHS receives notification of incidents and potential
incidents, assesses regional or national implications and determines need for DHS coordination
� DHS operational and/or resource coordination for Incidents of National Significance

� What do we know about the problem?� What do we still need to find out?� What safety risks are we
aware of?� Is the situation expanding or
shrinking/nearing an end?
