National Disaster Response Framework Student Name Institution NameCourse NameInstructor NameDate National Disaster Response Framework Natural and manmade disasters can potentially cause adverse outcomes on human life, infrastructure, and the economy. In the United States, for example, many risks can cause damage and disrupt the normal functioning of society ADDIN CSL_CITATION {"citationItems":[{"id":"ITEM-1","itemData":{"author":[{"dropping-particle":"","family":"Department of Homeland Security","given":"","non-dropping-particle":"","parse-names":false,"suffix":""}],"edition":"4th","id":"ITEM-1","issued":{"date-parts":[["2019"]]},"number-of-pages":"51","title":"National Response Framework","type":"book"},"uris":["http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=61791c2a-377a-49d0-936c-bd28f4dab06f"]}],"mendeley":{"formattedCitation":"(Department of Homeland Security, 2019)","plainTextFormattedCitation":"(Department of Homeland Security, 2019)","previouslyFormattedCitation":"(Department of Homeland Security, 2019)"},"properties":{"noteIndex":0},"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"}(Department of Homeland Security, 2019). Therefore, addressing these issues requires coordinated approaches to minimize their impact on the community. The National Disaster Response Framework (NDRF) provides a comprehensive document of how the community creates a common platform that sustains and coordinates disaster restoration activities ADDIN CSL_CITATION {"citationItems":[{"id":"ITEM-1","itemData":{"author":[{"dropping-particle":"","family":"Department of Homeland Security","given":"","non-dropping-particle":"","parse-names":false,"suffix":""}],"edition":"4th","id":"ITEM-1","issued":{"date-parts":[["2019"]]},"number-of-pages":"51","title":"National Response Framework","type":"book"},"uris":["http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=61791c2a-377a-49d0-936c-bd28f4dab06f"]}],"mendeley":{"formattedCitation":"(Department of Homeland Security, 2019)","plainTextFormattedCitation":"(Department of Homeland Security, 2019)","previouslyFormattedCitation":"(Department of Homeland Security, 2019)"},"properties":{"noteIndex":0},"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"}(Department of Homeland Security, 2019). Within the United States, disaster response is coordinated through the National Response Framework (NRF) and the National Disaster Recovery Framework (NDRF), a document that offers foundational aspects for managing emergencies and national disasters. The framework acts as an instrument for establishing a structured approach to disaster response at the federal, state, and local levels while engaging stakeholders like community organizations and private companies. Through the instruments, there are clear incentives for managing, coordinating, and supporting response actions to ensure that individuals improve their capacity to recover from the disaster ADDIN CSL_CITATION {"citationItems":[{"id":"ITEM-1","itemData":{"author":[{"dropping-particle":"","family":"Goodhue","given":"C J","non-dropping-particle":"","parse-names":false,"suffix":""},{"dropping-particle":"","family":"Blake","given":"N","non-dropping-particle":"","parse-names":false,"suffix":""}],"container-title":"Nursing Management of Pediatric Disaster","id":"ITEM-1","issued":{"date-parts":[["2020"]]},"title":"National Disaster Planning and Policy","type":"article-journal"},"uris":["http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=3dd68c6d-464b-4078-8c70-c8732449dcd6"]}],"mendeley":{"formattedCitation":"(Goodhue & Blake, 2020)","plainTextFormattedCitation":"(Goodhue & Blake, 2020)","previouslyFormattedCitation":"(Goodhue & Blake, 2020)"},"properties":{"noteIndex":0},"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"}(Goodhue & Blake, 2020). The framework assists stakeholders in understanding how disaster response can be approached through integrated and coordinated efforts. The paper aims to assess the national disaster response framework and goals, outline community relationships, and define NIMS, ESFs, and FRFs to understand how the national organization operates its disaster response capacities. Purpose of the National Disaster Response Framework The National Response Framework was established to create a concerted and integrated disaster response through the organization of federal, state, local, territorial, non-governmental organizations, and private companies ADDIN CSL_CITATION {"citationItems":[{"id":"ITEM-1","itemData":{"author":[{"dropping-particle":"","family":"Department of Homeland Security","given":"","non-dropping-particle":"","parse-names":false,"suffix":""}],"edition":"4th","id":"ITEM-1","issued":{"date-parts":[["2019"]]},"number-of-pages":"51","title":"National Response Framework","type":"book"},"uris":["http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=61791c2a-377a-49d0-936c-bd28f4dab06f"]}],"mendeley":{"formattedCitation":"(Department of Homeland Security, 2019)","plainTextFormattedCitation":"(Department of Homeland Security, 2019)","previouslyFormattedCitation":"(Department of Homeland Security, 2019)"},"properties":{"noteIndex":0},"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"}(Department of Homeland Security, 2019). Through this framework, there is coordination of actions of all stakeholders involved in disaster response. The goal is to save lives, prevent property loss, control the situation, and support the availability of essential services. The framework defines the function and duties of each agent. It affirms that managing disasters is a shared and systemic responsibility that mandates the input of diverse stakeholders. Due to this, there is flexibility in implementing disaster response efforts based on contextual issues ADDIN CSL_CITATION {"citationItems":[{"id":"ITEM-1","itemData":{"ISBN":"9781633219045","abstract":"Experience with recent disaster recovery efforts highlights the need for additional guidance, structure and support to improve how we as a Nation address recovery challenges.

Some of the factors to consider are the type and size of the disaster. The framework guarantees coordination of the disaster response objective because it depends on set procedures. Utilizing these principles outlined within the framework reduces the impact of such disasters on communities and the environment. Guiding Principles of the NDRF Engaged Partnership The principle of partnership is central to emphasizing the need for stakeholder cooperation in the disaster management process. This principle signifies engagement with officers or departments at the federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial levels. It also mandates the inclusion of NGOs and the private sector when coordinating local activities ADDIN CSL_CITATION {"citationItems":[{"id":"ITEM-1","itemData":{"author":[{"dropping-particle":"","family":"Department of Homeland Security","given":"","non-dropping-particle":"","parse-names":false,"suffix":""}],"edition":"4th","id":"ITEM-1","issued":{"date-parts":[["2019"]]},"number-of-pages":"51","title":"National Response Framework","type":"book"},"uris":["http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=61791c2a-377a-49d0-936c-bd28f4dab06f"]}],"mendeley":{"formattedCitation":"(Department of Homeland Security, 2019)","plainTextFormattedCitation":"(Department of Homeland Security, 2019)","previouslyFormattedCitation":"(Department of Homeland Security, 2019)"},"properties":{"noteIndex":0},"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"}(Department of Homeland Security, 2019). Partnerships between stakeholders guarantee proper resource allocation as response organizations or officers complement their efforts. Some of the existing relationship types include collaboration efforts, including joint training, information exchange, and coordinated planning to prepare workers to partner with other stakeholders in the field. Tiered Response The tiered response principle ensures that activities are implemented and managed at the lowest tier. Therefore, response efforts from federal or state stakeholders are only required if additional support is needed on the ground ADDIN CSL_CITATION {"citationItems":[{"id":"ITEM-1","itemData":{"author":[{"dropping-particle":"","family":"Goodhue","given":"C J","non-dropping-particle":"","parse-names":false,"suffix":""},{"dropping-particle":"","family":"Blake","given":"N","non-dropping-particle":"","parse-names":false,"suffix":""}],"container-title":"Nursing Management of Pediatric Disaster","id":"ITEM-1","issued":{"date-parts":[["2020"]]},"title":"National Disaster Planning and Policy","type":"article-journal"},"uris":["http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=3dd68c6d-464b-4078-8c70-c8732449dcd6"]}],"mendeley":{"formattedC...
