:2 Evaluation of ATD Models Using National Emergency Support Function Information Requirements An Overview

:3 Catastrophic Disaster Response Group Consists of the Assistant Secretaries of all Federal Response Plan signatory Departments and Agencies with emergency management responsibilities Acts as a Board of Directors for activities under the Federal Response Plan Directed the Emergency Support Function Leaders Group to establish emergency support information requirements

:4 EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTIONS Transportation Communications Public Works and Engineering Firefighting Information and Planning Mass Care Resource Support Health and Medical Services Urban Search and Rescue Hazardous Materials Food Energy ESF Department of Transportation National Communications System Department of Defense Department of Agriculture Federal Emergency Management Agency American Red Cross General Services Administration Department of Health and Human Services Federal Emergency Management Agency Environmental Protection Agency Department of Agriculture Department of Energy Primary Agency

:5 Emergency Support Function Leaders Group Consists of the Emergency Managers responsible for each of the 12 Emergency Support functions under the Federal Response Plan Delegated the development of the Emergency Support Function information requirements to information and planning specialists - the Rapid Assessment Working Group

:6 Developed Proposed Information Collection Methodology, including remote sensing sources, and data collected prior to an emergency event as well as after an event Assigned who was responsible to collect the information The form and timing of the information product was described as Emergency Support Information Requirements (ESIR) Information Collection Plan

:7 Emergency Support Information Requirement Essential Elements of Information are required. The EEI’s relate to the Emergency Support Information Requirement, but they are separate.

:8 EEI # 1 EEI # 2... EEI # 26 ESIR #1 ESIR #2... ESIR #67 The Relationship of EEIs to ESIRs

:9 Four Information Collection Plans by Major Hazard Hurricane - approved Earthquake - approval Flood - awaiting approval Hazardous Materials - awaiting approval Emergency Support Information Requirement can serve more than one hazard
