Defining a Catastrophic Incident
A catastrophic incident is any natural or manmade incident,
including terrorism, that results in extraordinary levels of
mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting
the population, infrastructure, environment, economy,
national morale, and/or government functions.
17
Defining a Catastrophic Incident
A catastrophic incident:
 Could result in sustained national
impacts over a prolonged time period
 Almost immediately exceeds resources
normally available to State, local, tribal,
and private-sector authorities in the
impacted area
 Significantly interrupts governmental
operations and emergency services to
such an extent that national security
could be threatened.
18
What is the Catastrophic Annex?
The NRP Catastrophic Incident
Annex establishes a context and
overarching strategy for
implementing and coordinating an
accelerated, pro-active national
response to a catastrophic incident.
The Annex was published in
December 2004 as part of the
National Response Plan.
19
What is the Catastrophic Supplement?
The NRP Catastrophic Incident
Supplement provides the operational
framework for implementing the
strategy contained in the NRP
Catastrophic Incident Annex.
The Supplement is organized around
a basic plan, 2 operational annexes,
and 14 reference appendices.
The Supplement was published in
late September 2005. The document
is marked “For Official Use Only.”
20
Organization of the Supplement
Basic Plan
• Purpose, Design, Overview
• Concept of Operations, Federal Execution Strategy
• Catastrophic Response Inhibitors
Operational
Annexes

21
When Does It Apply?
The NRP Catastrophic Incident Supplement applies to –
 No-notice or short-notice incident of catastrophic magnitude
 When need for Federal assistance is obvious and immediate
 Anticipatory planning, resource pre-positioning are precluded
The Supplement & Execution Schedule do not apply to –
 Incidents that evolve or mature into catastrophic incidents
 For evolving events, response strategy is applied via
standard NRP procedures, as guided by the appropriate
Incident Annex (e.g., Biological Incident Annex).
22
Activation
 The DHS Secretary designates event
an Incident of National Significance.
 Only the DHS Secretary or designee
may initiate implementation of the
Catastrophic Incident Annex.
 Homeland Security Operations Center (HSOC) notifies
Federal departments and agencies that the Catastrophic
Incident Annex has been implemented.
 Notification and full coordination with States occur, but the
coordination process should not delay or impede the rapid
mobilization and deployment of critical Federal resources.
23
DHS as Coordinating Agency
Upon activation of the Annex, DHS will –
 Activate and deploy (or prepare to deploy) DHS-managed teams,
equipment caches, and other resources in accordance with the
Supplement.
 Identify, prepare, and operationalize facilities critical to supporting
the movement and reception of deploying Federal resources.
 Activate national-level facilities and capabilities.
 Make every attempt to establish contact with impacted States to
coordinate employment of federal resources in support of the
State.
24
Cooperating Agencies
When notified by the HSOC that the DHS Secretary has
implemented the Annex, federal departments and agencies
and the American Red Cross will –
 Activate and deploy (or prepare to deploy) agency- or ESFmanaged teams, equipment caches, and other resources in
accordance with the Supplement.
 Commence ESF responsibilities as appropriate.
 Commence assessments of the probable consequences of the
incident & projected resource requirements.
 Commence development of shorter and longer-term response
and recovery strategies.
26
Mobilization and Deployment
 Upon designation by the DHS Secretary of a catastrophic
incident, Federal resources – organized into incidentspecific “packages” – deploy in accordance with the NRP
Catastrophic Incident Supplement and in coordination with
the affected State and incident command structure.
 Unless it can be credibly established that a pre-identified
Federal resource in the Supplement is not needed at the
catastrophic incident venue, that resource deploys.
27
Mobilization and Deployment
 Resources are deployed by the sponsoring Federal agency
and transported according to an Execution Schedule
managed by the Department of Transportation.
 Deployment timing for mobilized resources will depend on
the availability of air/ground transportation and the
availability of adequate reception capabilities at the
destination.
 Federal resources arriving at a federal mobilization center or
staging area remain there until requested by State/local
incident command authorities, when they are integrated into
the incident response effort.
28
Mobilization and Deployment
 All “pushed” Federal assets and resources will be 100%
Federally funded through initial deployment to the Federal
mobilization center or staging area.
 However, in accordance
with the Stafford Act,
State requests for use of
deployed Federal assets
may require cost-sharing.
29
Resource Flow
1.
DHS Secretary designates incident,
notifies HSOC.
2.
HSOC notifies NRCC and federal EOCs
of Annex / Supplement implementation
and I-Hour.
3.
NRCC activates Movement Coordination
Branch.
4.
NRCC designates Federal mobilization
center and dispatches management
team.
5.
NRCC and Federal EOCs direct Federal
storage sites & logistics centers to
implement Execution Schedule.
6.
Sites / Centers deploy resources to
Federal mobilization center, unless
otherwise directed by the NRCC.
7.
Commodities are sent from Mob Center
to Federal staging areas, State staging
areas, local Receiving & Distribution
Centers, as directed by the RRCC.
8.
Resources are sent from the Mob Center
and staging areas into the incident area in
support of state/local incident command
authorities.
Expected Areas of Assistance
 Mass care, housing, and human services (ESF 6)
 Urban search & rescue (ESF 9)
 Decontamination (ESFs 8, 10)
 Public health & medical support (ESF 8)
 Medical equipment & supplies (ESF 8)
 Casualty and fatality management & transportation (ESF 8)
 Public Information (ESF 15)
31
Transportation Schedule
DOT will activate a 24/7 Emergency Transportation Center to coordinate
the movement of supplies and resources via air, sea, and land transport.
Transportation response will be managed in 2 broad categories:
 Immediate Push Items – Pre-identified resources dispatched
automatically within first 48 hours of incident, without any request
from State or local authorities.
 Midterm Pull Items – Assets dispatched within the first 10 days that
are likely to be needed at the incident site, but will not be transported
until requested by an appropriate authority at the FEMA Region, JFO,
or FEMA Headquarters.
32
Execution Schedule
 Action reflects the time the action is initiated, not completed.
 Bold actions = resources that will deploy to or activate within/near the incident area.
 “Initiate deployment actions” = mobilize resources for immediate pickup at the
designated air/ground departure point.
 For Responsible Agency: The term “ALL” refers to all Federal departments and
agencies to which the action applies.
 Action Identifier “M” = multiple but specific agencies are responsible.
 Action Identification numbers are provided for quick reference.
