National Response Coordination Center (NOC-NRCC), FEMA 1


National Response Coordination Center (NOC-NRCC), FEMA 1 :

The NOC-NRCC monitors potential or developing incidents and supports the efforts of regional and field components, including coordinating the preparedness of national-level emergency response teams and resources; in coordination with Regional Response Coordination Centers (RRCCs), initiating mission assignments or reimbursable agreements to activate other Federal departments and agencies; and activating and deploying national-level specialized teams. In addition, the NOC-NRCC resolves Federal resource support conflicts and other implementation issues forwarded by the JFO. Those issues that cannot be resolved by the NOC-NRCC are referred to the IAC. During an incident, the NOC-NRCC operates on a 24/7 basis or as required in coordination with other elements of the NOC. (1) Intelligence and Analysis (NOC-I&A): I&A is responsible for interagency intelligence collection requirements, analysis, production, and product dissemination for DHS. I&A coordinates or disseminates homeland security threat warnings, advisory bulletins, and other information pertinent to national incident. (2) National Infrastructure Coordination Center (NOC-NICC): The NOC-NICC monitors the Nation's critical infrastructure and key resources (CI/KR) on an ongoing basis. During an incident, the NOC-NICC provides a coordinating forum to share information across infrastructure and key resources sectors through appropriate information-sharing entities such as the Information Sharing & Analysis Centers and the Sector Coordinating Councils. (3) NOC-Planning Element: The NOC-Planning Element conducts national domestic incident management planning and coordination. This includes coordinating response, recovery, and mitigation operational planning and interagency coordination with the NOC-NRCC; coordinating and sustaining Federal preparedness, prevention, and protection activities related to an Incident of National Significance or at the Secretary's direction; and coordinating preparedness, prevention, and protection operations and resource allocation planning with the appropriate Federal departments and agencies, the NOC-NRCC, the RRCCs, and the JFO. Also called the Incident Management Planning Team (IMPT)". (DHS, National Planning and Execution System, 2007 Draft, pp. 3-5/6) "The DHS National Operations Center (NOC) is responsible for facilitating homeland security coordination across the Federal mission areas of prevention, protection, response and recovery. The NOC serves as the national fusion center, collecting and synthesizing all-source information to determine if there is a terrorist nexus. The NOC also shares all-threats and all-hazards information across the spectrum of homeland security partners. Federal departments and agencies should report information regarding actual or potential incidents requiring a coordinated Federal response to the NOC". (DHS, NRF Comment Draft, 2007, p, 32) "The NOC is the primary national hub for domestic incident management operational coordination, and situational awareness. The NOC is a standing 24/7 interagency organization fusing law enforcement, national intelligence, emergency response, and private sector reporting". (FEMA, Mission Assignment SOPs Draft, 2007, p. 56) National Operations Center is the principal operations center for the Department [DHS] and shall (1) provide situational awareness and a common operating picture for the entire Federal Government, and for State, local, and tribal governments as appropriate, in the event of a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster; and (2) ensure that critical terrorism and disaster-related information reaches government decision-makers". (Post-Katrina EM Reform Act of 2006, p. 1409).
