The National Response Framework (NRF), establishes the framework for a comprehensive, national, "all-hazards" approach to domestic incident response. The NRF outlines how communities, States, the Federal Government, and private-sector and nongovernmental partners will work together in a coordinated fashion to plan for and develop comprehensive response plans for all types of emergency events. This data collection efforts will provide feedback on the overall effectiveness of SAMHSA Disaster Technical Assistance Center's (DTAC) services, ongoing needs at the national level, and areas that require enhanced Technical Assistance (TA) services.
