This Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Incident Management
and Support Keystone establishes the foundational doctrine that
guides FEMA's conduct of disaster operations and is the primary
document from which all other FEMA disaster response, recovery,
mitigation, and logistics directives and policies are derived. It
describes how the response doctrine, articulated in the National
Response Framework (NRF), and recovery doctrine are implemented in
the context of FEMA incident management and support operations.
This Keystone is fully in line with the National Incident
Management System. Incident Management is the incident-level
operation of the Federal role in emergency response, recovery,
logistics, and mitigation. Responsibilities in incident management
include the direct control and employment of resources, management
of incident offices, operations, and delivery of Federal assistance
through all phases of emergency response. Incident Support is the
coordination of all Federal resources that support emergency
response, recovery, logistics, and mitigation. Responsibilities
include the deployment of national-level assets, support of
national objectives and programs affected during the disaster, and
support of incident operations with resources, expertise,
information, and guidance. This keystone document describes the
full function of FEMA assistance, from the earliest lifesaving
operations and support through the entire life of the Joint Field
Office (JFO). The keystone addresses how FEMA will provide
lifesaving operations and necessary resources; restore power and
rebuild roads in the affected communities; provide technical
assistance to community floodplain management programs and flood
insurance; and manage individual assistance inspections, temporary
housing, public assistance inspections, 406 mitigation, and hazard
mitigation grants. The Incident Management and Support Keystone
leads a family of other doctrinal documents that guide the
implementation of FEMA's disaster operations. This document is
intended to standardize procedures, institutionalize best
practices, and guide planning, training, equipping, and staffing.
Doctrine is an authoritative statement of fundamental principles of
an organization. It is authoritative yet adaptable enough to
address diverse situations. Doctrine provides a standard frame of
reference for FEMA and explains why the Agency performs its
functions. Doctrine is a guide to action and judgment founded in
hard-won experience; it facilitates readiness and increased
efficiency and effectiveness by standardizing activities and
processes. The consistent application of doctrine outlined in this
Keystone will assist FEMA in better managing its functions,
requirements, capabilities, priorities, policies, organizational
design, command and control authorities, and the allocation of
resources across the full spectrum of disaster response and
recovery. This FEMA Incident Management and Support Keystone
applies to all FEMA incident management and support operations,
including incidents that have occurred, efforts undertaken based on
an identified threat, and actions performed in anticipation of, or
in preparation for, a significant event. This doctrine pertains to
FEMA incident management and support operations that involve- or
that may involve-a presidential declaration under the Stafford Act,
as well as incidents requiring a coordinated Federal response where
the Stafford Act does not apply. This doctrine applies to the full
range of incidents contained within one or several jurisdictions,
as well as those incidents that are national in scope. This
Keystone is intended to promote readiness to act, effective
cooperation, interoperability, and sharing of essential resources
and information among all levels of government, nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs), and the private sector-by communicating to
our partners the principles by which FEMA conducts incident
management and support operations.
