The National Response Plan establishes a comprehensive all-hazards approach
to enhance the ability of the United States to manage domestic incidents.
The plan incorporates best practices and procedures from incident management
disciplines�homeland security, emergency management, law enforcement,
firefighting, public works, public health, responder and recovery worker
health and safety, emergency medical services, and the private sector�and
integrates them into a unified structure. It forms the basis of how the
federal government coordinates with state, local, and tribal governments and
the private sector during incidents. It establishes protocols to help
* Save lives and protect the health and safety of the public,
responders, and recovery workers;
* Ensure security of the homeland;
* Prevent an imminent incident, including acts of terrorism, from
occurring;
* Protect and restore critical infrastructure and key resources;
* Conduct law enforcement investigations to resolve the incident,
apprehend the perpetrators, and collect and preserve evidence for
prosecution and/or attribution;
* Protect property and mitigate damages and impacts to individuals,
communities, and the environment; and
* Facilitate recovery of individuals, families, businesses, governments,
and the environment.
