Emergency Support Function
(ESF)
• The FRP employs a functional approach that groups
under 12 ESFs the types of direct Federal assistance
that a State is most likely to need
• Each ESF is headed by a primary agency designated
on the basis of its authorities, resources, and
capability in that functional area
• Federal response assistance is provided using some
or all ESFs as necessary
• Federal ESF representatives coordinate with their
counterpart State agencies

any Federal agency to use its authorities and
resources in support of State and local
assistance efforts
• This authority has also been delegated to the
FEMA Director; the Associate Director, Response
and Recovery; the FEMA Regional Directors; and
the Federal Coordinating Officer
