Abstract: In accordance with the Federal Fire Prevention And Control Act Of 1974, (Public Law 93–498) [As Amended Through P.L. 112–239, Enacted January 2, 2013] The US Fire Administration (USFA) provides technical assistance and training to State and local fire service officials to establish nationwide and State mutual aid systems for dealing with national emergencies that include threat assessment and equipment deployment strategies; means of collecting asset and resource information to provide accurate and timely data for regional deployment; and are consistent with the National Response Framework. The USFA will coordinate with the local Fire and Emergency Services to establish a National Catastrophic Resource Catalog (NCRC), via a data collection form. The form will contain information on their assets and resources. The USFA, at the Federal level, will assess existing systems, compacts, and agreements that support the response mechanism to the catastrophic event. The results will determine if or when the States and Federal government resources are or will become overwhelmed. By measuring resource requests to resource orders filled, a sufficient gap or lapse in resource availability will become apparent, then using various strategic options, FEMA leadership will use the information available in the NCRC to meet the response resource needs.
