The NRF is based on tiered responses to national emergencies: First Tier - Local Response. First responders: fire, rescue, law enforcement, and emergency medical services provide immediate aid and support for safeguarding public health and safety. Second Tier - State Response. Incidents exceeding Tier-1 force capabilities require the activation of State civil and military forces. For example, additional civilian teams, such as State Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) teams, Fire and Rescue units, State Police units, State Health Department assets, and the NG are used to augment first responder resources. Third Tier - Federal Response. Governors can request assistance from the President of the United States if it is determined their State's incident-response requires additional support. Under an approved Presidential Emergency Declaration, Federal agencies identified in reference d provide assets to support the Governor. An incident command (IC) is established to provide assistance and management of the emergency support functions of the incident. Federal response assets available to the IC may include the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) HAZMAT Response Unit, the Department of Energy's radiation assessment teams, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Disaster Medical System, the National Medical Response System, the NG, United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) and United States Pacific Command (USPACOM).
