What will be an ideal response?
The Frameworkâs Response Doctrine includes the following elements:
1. Engaged Partnerships: Avoid dominoes of sequential failure. Layered, mutually supporting
capabilities; plan together; understand strengths/weaknesses, know where gaps are. Develop shared goals; align capabilities so none allows other to be overwhelmed.
2. Tiered Response: Incidents must be managed at the lowest possible jurisdictional level and
supported by additional response capabilities when needed.
3. Scalable, Flexible, and Adaptable Operational Capabilities: As incidents change in size, scope,
and complexity, the number, type, and source of responses must be able to expand to meet
requirements.
4. Unity of Effort through Unified Command: Effective unified command indispensable to all
response activities; requires clear understanding of roles and responsibilities; shared objectives.
Each agency maintains its own authority, responsibility, and accountability.
5. Readiness to Act: Readiness to act balanced with an understanding of risk. Requires clear,
focused communications. Disciplined processes, procedures, and systems.
From individuals, families, communities local, State, and Federal agencies, national response
depends on instinct and ability to act
