Description

No-notice catastrophic disasters pose one of the greatest challenges to national emergency preparedness. Emergency support functions (ESFs) are federal interagency coordinating structures that group capabilities into functional areas most frequently needed in a national response. This report reviewed federal preparedness to respond to no-notice catastrophic disasters, such as improvised nuclear device (IND) attacks and major earthquakes. It assesses the extent to which opportunities exist to enhance (1) assessment of ESF preparedness and (2) management oversight of the closure of federal capability gaps identified in selected exercises, real-world incidents, and other assessments. Tables and figure. This is a print on demand report.
