National Response Framework

The National Response Framework (NRF) is a guiding document in the United States that outlines how the government, communities, and organizations work together to respond to emergencies and disasters. It focuses on a coordinated approach to ensure efficient response efforts, emphasizing teamwork and clear communication. The NRF covers various types of incidents, from natural disasters to terrorist attacks, and promotes preparedness, protection, recovery, and mitigation. By establishing roles and responsibilities, the framework enhances the nation's ability to effectively manage and recover from crises, ensuring the safety and resilience of communities.
