Q. What is the primary purpose of the National Response Framework?
The National Response Framework (NRF) establishes a single, comprehensive approach to domestic incident management. The NRF is used to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies.
Q. Why was the National Response Plan changed to the National Response Framework?
Why was the National Response Plan renamed? The National Response Plan has been renamed the National Response Framework to better align the document with its intent and to encourage the continued development and refinement of detailed, robust all-hazards emergency operations plans.
Q. How does the National Response Framework work?
The National Response Framework (NRF) is a guide to how the nation responds to all types of disasters and emergencies. It is built on scalable, flexible, and adaptable concepts identified in the National Incident Management System to align key roles and responsibilities.
Q. When was the national response framework used?
In January 2008, DHS issued the NRF, which took effect in March 2008. Since that time, the NRF has been the nation’s core response document, providing a structure for the response to such disasters as the 2008 Midwest floods and California wildfires, as well as Hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
Q. What are the core principles of the National Response Framework?

Q. What is a guiding principle of the National Response Framework?

Q. What does the term response as used in the national response framework include?
The term “response” as used in the National Response Framework includes: Actions to save lives, protect property and the environment, stabilize the incident, and meet basic human needs following an incident. The execution of emergency plans and actions to enable recovery.
Q. What correctly describes NIMS?
A systematic approach to incident management. Explanation: National Incident Management System (NIMS) is a national system approach to incident management.
