FEMA Form 035-0-1
Public reporting burden for this data collection is estimated to average 10 minutes per response. The burden estimate includes the time for
reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and submitting this form.
This collection of information is voluntary. You are not required to respond to this collection of information unless a valid OMB control number
is displayed on this form. Send comments regarding the accuracy of the burden estimate and any suggestions for reducing the burden to:
Information Collections Management, Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW.,

A basic obligation of Government (at all levels) is to act effectively and rapidly to deliver assistance essential to saving lives or protecting or
preserving property or public health and safety, in addition to the governmental legal authorities established in the Homeland Security Act and
Presidential Policy Directive-8, Homeland Security Presidential Directive-5 and the National Response Framework (NRF).
In many government and private sector plans, testimonies and lessons learned reports about catastrophic disasters, like the New Madrid
Seismic Zone, there are four underlying certainties:
1)

The event will overwhelm your local incident command and resource capabilities across the state;

2)

The health, safety, and security of thousands of your citizens will be at risk without effective and aggressive intervention as well
as assistance from the federal government and national partners.

3)

The private and volunteer sectors must actively participate in response and recovery. They will provide a sustainable source of
resources and capabilities.

4)

A catastrophic plan and access to other available resources may be required when Federal, State, local, tribal, and territorial
resources are overwhelmed.

The implementation of the National Catastrophic Resource Catalog (NCRC) process (alert, notify and mobilize participants), supports the
government's obligation. It assures a sustainable resource of available capabilities to support a long-term operation in the event of a
catastrophic event. It is a process that is in support of, and a carry-over of, State-Local-Tribal-Territorial mutual aid and interagency
agreements at the State, to include the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) and Federal levels, and the Federal
Response. It is an extension process to alert, notify and deploy local fire and emergency support capabilities at the Federal level, short of
requesting foreign aid.

DRAFT

To establish the NCRC (inventory) of available/accessible National Incident Management System (NIMS)-Typed response capabilities, the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) - United States Fire Administration (USFA) is recommending that the Nation's Fire and
Emergency Service departments/agencies consider using the NIMS Resource Typing Library Tool (RTLT) [https://rtlt.preptoolkit.org/
Public] and inventorying their capabilities. USFA also recommends departments/agencies adopt the FEMA-supported inventory system,
Incident Response Inventory System (IRIS) [https://preptoolkit.fema.gov/web/nims-tools/home]. IRIS incorporates the NIMS definitions
established in the RTLT. In addition to assigning the Type or Kind to a capability, IRIS can manage your maintenance program and
personnel. Not all capabilities are NIMS-defined or are under revision; so IRIS provides a process to identify/define those local capabilities as
well.
Once you inventory your Types/Kinds of equipment and qualifications, you can determine if there are supplemental capabilities that may be
available to support a national level catastrophic event.

FEMA FORM 035-0-1 (10/17)

Page 1 of 6

The source of the supplemental capabilities could come as a result of combining multiple mutual aid support, adjusting your box alarms, those
capabilities used solely for training purposes (training facilities or community colleges), or placed in storage, on standby or from the fleet.
Here is an example of how this process would work during a catastrophic event:

•

Presidential Declaration of Disaster.

•

Response resources and mission gaps identified by FEMA-USFA due to the magnitude of the event and lack of available qualified
resources.

•

The USFA staff (ESF-4 Structural) at the National Response Coordination Center (NRCC), in concert with all other operational
initiatives, will look at the area impacted and identify the closest available resources that are logged into the NCRC database.

•

The information extracted from the database is a source of information for FEMA-USFA Leadership decision-makers.

•

At the direction of the Resource Support Section Chief, the ESF-4 Structural staff will identify the closest qualified resources to the
event and establish communications with those agencies.

•

The NCRC ordering process will be implemented, to subsequently deploy follow-on capabilities, based on travel times, number and
type of support capacity needed, etc.

•

The order to alert, notify and deploy teams, deployment dates/times will be coordinated with the department/agency representative.

•

At the same time, USFA will contact the Host Agency. The Host Agency is the single department/agency that represents the participant
(s) for legal and financial support. A FEMA contract officer will discuss pre-defined contract clauses (coverage, inclusive dates,
reimbursable costs, etc) with the Host Agency and obtain signatures to the contract.

DRAFT

In order to establish this process, we request that your Fire and Emergency Services departments/agencies self-identify and then share the
resources that may be available to the catastrophic response. The USFA Program Manager will store information provided by the
department/agency in a database and request up-dates as necessary, but not more than 3 years.
Departments/Agencies may be authorized to receive compensation for costs from the Federal Emergency Management Agency when your
assets are deployed, if you are part of a qualified response support system. Information about reimbursement will be provided at a later date
by the USFA or FEMA.
Use the attached form to identify resource availability in the NCRC. Once the USFA Program Manager receives the form, we will contact you
to verify the information

Complete the following information on behalf of your organization, do not provide names/positions or titles of agency personal. If information
is not available or does not exist, enter N/A.
Complete the Inventory Tables that apply (Equipment, Qualifications and/or Non-NIMS-Typed Equipment/Qualifications).
Column 1: Enter Yes/No if your department/agency has the equipment/qualification listed.
Column 2: List your NIMS-Typed Equipment/Qualification, to include those that are under revision.
Column 3: Enter the Quantity of the Equipment/Qualification that may be available to deploy for a maximum of 14 days. This number may
fluctuate over time.
Column 4: Non-NIMS-Type Equipment/Qualification ONLY. Use Attachment 1 as a guide to describe the Type/Kind and annotate that in
Column 2. Identify the variance between the NIMS-defined capability and your capability. For example, The Resource Typing Library Tool
(RTLT) defines an Engine, Fire (Pumper) Type 1 as having 1,000 GPM pump capacity and 400 gallon tank capacity. Your organization has an
engine w/500 GPM pump. Variance is the 500 GPM pump.
