The National Response Plan, a single comprehensive, unified approach to domestic incident management.

Since 1992, the Federal Response Plan (FRP) has coordinated the delivery of federal resources and assistance to augments efforts of state and local governments, overwhelmed by an emergency. A signed agreement among 27 federal departments and agencies, the FRP has provided a process and structure to support implementation of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Act and individual agency statutory authorities. Within days after the events of 9/11, the nation's executive and legislative leadership began to evaluate the scope of the existing plan to prepare for and manage domestic incidents.

The National Response Plan (NRP), represents an unprecedented step in unifying incident management to protect our country and citizenry. For the first time, the U.S. federal government will integrate domestic prevention, preparedness, response and recovery activities into a single all-discipline, all hazards plan. Its goal to ensure cooperation at all levels of government, integration with the private sector and engagement with the public. By doing so, it can bring the full range of the nation's capabilities to bear in protecting the homeland.
