  17. NIMS and the NRF • NRF is an all-hazards framework that builds upon NIMS and describes additional specific Federal roles and structures for incidents in which Federal resources are involved. • NRF provides the structure and mechanisms for national-level policy and operational direction for incident management. • NIMS and NRF are designed to improve the Nation’s incident management capabilities and overall efficiency. • NIMS and the NRF are designed to ensure that local jurisdictions retain command, control, and authority over response activities for their jurisdictional areas.
