Who We Are

EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTION #9 Support to Federal ESF #9 Efforts

• ESF Coordinator – Dept of Homeland Security/FEMA• Primary Agencies – FEMA, USCG, National Park Service, DOD (USNORTHCOM)• Purpose

• Rapidly deploy Federal SAR resources to provide lifesaving assistance to State, tribal, and local authorities, to include local SAR Coordinators and Mission Coordinators, when there is an actual or anticipated request for Federal SAR assistance.

• Scope • During incidents or potential incidents requiring a unified SAR response,

Federal SAR responsibilities reside with ESF #9 primary agencies that provide timely and specialized SAR capabilities.

• Federal SAR response operational environments are classified as: • Structural Collapse (Urban) Search and Rescue (US&R) – DHS (FEMA)• Maritime/Coastal/Waterborne Search and Rescue – DHS (USCG)• Land Search and Rescue – DOD (USNORTHCOM) & DOI (NPS)

J36 Functions: -Phase 0 – DSC and State/Local First Responder Training (SAR) and assist in developing response plans

-Phase 1-5 – Assisting in Executing State/Local Plans.

Normally executed at: DSC and JTF & Below

Logic: -Phase 0 – DSC interface and State and Local Agency training-Phase 1 and beyond – As a NC asset @ time of event (not TACON to

other org) can both advise DSC on SAR issues & ensure NC CDR equities represented.

-Assists State and Local organizations in developing plans so the J36 is best to assist in executing plans.

J35 Functions: Phase 0 – DCO/DCE training (CERTEX), liaise with Federal agencies

and assist Federal Agencies in nesting response plans with State and Local plans.

Phase 1-5 – Provide support to Federal Agencies to include FSARCG; assist in executing Federal plan ISO State and Local response. (TACON to JFACC at time of

event.

Normally executed at: FEMA EOC or RRCC, where DCO is present

Logic: -Has relationship with DCOs so best able to a assist/advise DCO on SAR MAs (T10).-Has relationships with FEMA through CERTEX and other exercise programs

JFACC – (Operational) Sources T10 DoD assets ISO DSC (Tactical)

DSC – (Tactical) Sources with T10 & T32 assets for ICs to support State/Local Plan

When multiple DSC or JTFs activated NC will RFF for nodes support

IC responsible for employment & execution

In SOCAL:- The SOC will have a Unified Area Command Group. The UACG will apportion

forces.- The SOC is Strategic. The IMAT, CA EF#9 (EF#4 &EF#13), DCO/E and CA Air

Coord Group will reside. The SOC is also Operational until a Regional Emergency Operations Center (REOC) is established.

- REOC is the Operational node for response. REOC will route received RFF’s, Gaps and SITREPS from ICP’s to SOC for action.

- ICP will reside in each county and managed by the county EM. ICP will route RFF’s and SITREPS to REOC for action and SA.

- FSARCG will receive SOC support request from IMAT *co-located with SOC. - JPRC will receive FSARCG DOD solutions for MA development and

responsible for reporting operational to strategic (Quad chart).- DSC’s will be responsible for reporting tactical (storyboard) *co-located with

J36 elements forward.- -Request goes from SOC to IMAT to FSARCG (for SAR) then response

identification will go from FSARCG to DCO for MA development and sourcing request (for DoD solutions) non-DoD solutions will be sourced by OGA’s via IMAT directive/request.

- -DSC’s will route shortage/requirement thru REOC to FEMA IMAT.- Elements and actions at and below State Emergency Operations Center
