GOHSEP Elected_Officials_Manual_2015

During a response, ESFs are a critical mechanism to
coordinate functional capabilities and resources
provided by Federal agencies, certain private-sector
entities and NGOs. The ESF concept is scalable to the
size and complexity of an event and local capacity to
respond. ESFs may be selectively activated for both
Stafford Act and non-Stafford Act incidents. Not all
incidents result in the activation of ESFs.
The NRF and support documents are available online
at the NRF Resource Center.
