NRF (National Response Framework)

The National Response Framework (NRF) is a guide that outlines how the United States prepares for and responds to emergencies, such as natural disasters, pandemics, or other crises. It provides a coordinated approach for federal, state, local, tribal, and private organizations to work together efficiently. The NRF identifies roles, responsibilities, and resources needed to protect communities, ensure safety, and recover quickly. Essentially, it helps ensure that when a disaster occurs, everyone knows their part to respond effectively and minimize damage.
