The National Response Framework,a successor to the National Response Plan,"helps define the roles,responsibilities,and relationships critical to effective emergency planning,preparedness,and response to any emergency or disaster." The NRF serves as a guide for conducting a nationwide all-hazards response that is flexible and adaptable and that links all levels of the government with nongovernmental organizations and the private sector.The U.S.Department of Homeland Security was developed in 2002 to develop and coordinate the implementing of a comprehensive national strategy to secure the United States from terrorist threats or attacks.Eventually,the NRF was developed within this department.The National Response Framework helps to provide a linkage for the Red Cross to other organizations,but does not assist with it carrying out its mission.The NRF does not change presidential power.
